[QUOTE="fishnbanjo, post: 459010, member: 2910"] As you can tell we've lost the sun but it's still a fine day. I let 1 1/2 hours pass w/o having another pipe just several cups of dark Cuban coffee to cleanse the palate. I loaded the Carsten Ringling Morta canted Pot with horn stem with the 39 y/o Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake to give my impression on how it fares to current production. First impression is a warm, almost jam sweetness, not overly sweet nearly like a fresh ripe fig which I love. The snork picks up a subdued spiciness which has depth and no sharpness. Rather than the Virginia being up front it is more rearward on the palate with a richness and depth. Although this is the same tobacco and both smoke very well I'm going to say with no apologies I prefer the well aged one in spades. I've said it elsewhere that if someone were to offer me 50 lbs of the tobacco of my choice I'd ask for Mac Baren Dark Twist Roll Cake with at least 30 years of aging under its belt. My opinion is try this tobacco, if what I stated in the two reviews sounds like something you'd enjoy smoking buy it but be sure to get enough tins to mark them do not open until 2011, 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031 this will allow you to see how it changes as it ages in 5 year intervals, cheers and as always keep it smokey. banjo [IMG]https://2img.net/h/images.yuku.com/image/jpeg/42835067400754b3ee2229f7d7881647adeee10.jpeg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
