[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 293503, member: 192"] Hard to disagree with you, Alfredo. It seems that he uses aged tobacco to mix his blends, which may be the justification for the high prices charged. But many (most?) blenders also use leaf that has been stored for many years. From recent posts in Bob, it's my understanding that the leaf must be very dry to be preserved in storage, to prevent it from fermenting or changing significantly, meaning that it will not age in the same way that a packaged blend would. I would consider paying a premium price for an aged blend, but I'm hesitant to do it for a fresh blend, even if made with old tobaccos. Like you said, there are many excellent blends out there that cost but a fraction of what Steven B. charges... [/QUOTE]
