[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 516106, member: 2140"] I honestly don't have much experience with aging lat blends but have extensively smoked very very old tobaccos. I actively seek out the tubs of Sir Walter Raleigh, Half & Half, Prince Albert, Union Leader, Briggs etc. that are from the 1960's or earlier. The oldest tin I ever opened and smoked was a 97 year old tin of Half & Half. It was a sublime smoke. What you have to keep in mind is the storage conditions. Places with wide swings in temps are going to shorten the lifespan of any blend. Stored under cool dry conditions you may easily get 40-50 years out of a blend that really hasn't even started to deteriorate. My guess is that properly stored lat blends will mellow but should remain smokeable and enjoyable for a number of decades longer than most people would think. Otherwise why would people pay over 300$ for a 1960's tin of 759? My 2 cents Jim [/QUOTE]
