[QUOTE="scottbtdmb, post: 101271, member: 1043"] That's a nice start man! Just wanted to add my two cents to this thread. For short term cellaring, another words if you don't have much patience (lol), try that Pipeworks & Wilke #10 that gandalf recommended. Oriental leaf ages more rapidly than any other leaf and you will notice amazing changes in the 6-18 month period. #10 is my go to Oriental blend so if you are ever so inclined, visit vtpipes.com and order some from Carole. I have about a pound and a half of it in my cellar and plan to add another couple pounds before taxes get out of hand eventually. Otherwise, I echo comments that others have made about cellaring. Concentrate on Virginias and Orientals, cellar your favorite English/Balkan blends to enjoy in 5-10 years (up to 20 for some perhaps), and smoke your Burley and Aromatic blends now. Burleys have no sugar and will not age necessarily, though blends with different cuts may meld together and improve. Aromatics generally contain low quality tobaccos used merely to soak up the casing/topping. There is also significant evidence that shows that the casings/toppings used can kill the microbes responsible for fermenting tobacco. Hope this helps and congrats again on your order! -Scott [/QUOTE]
