[QUOTE="Trout Bum, post: 62215, member: 433"] Bentbulldog, As stated by Sasquatch, a lot of aromatics flatten out after ten or fifteen minutes of puffing. He is always touting Luxury Blend (Peterson); I might just have to try it, as I am a big fan of some of their other mixtures... As for Blue Note, I have smoked one tin of it, about a year ago. I stored it in mason jar, and smoked from it over a six month or so period. I definitely noticed that the tobacco lost some of it's initial tastiness over time whilst being stored. (After being opened from the tin.) A lot of smokers say that aros (or very few of them) age well... That being said, Blue Note is a quality tobacco (I mean the actual tobacco, not the flavoring/casing) and is very different from any other aro I have smoked. It is a great starting point, but perhaps, as you pointed out, your sample might have been compromised to time/air/aging. I would certainly recommend getting used to pairing a beverage with your tobacco and pipe. For whatever reason, I guess because it just adds to the experience, I rarely smoke without some sort of tasty libation. I enjoy coffee, tea, Perrier (sometimes mixed with cranberry juice or lemonade) and often just water. I think smoking a pipe makes one thirsty.... at least me it does, and many beverages compliment certain tobaccos quite nicely. Experiment and have fun! [/QUOTE]
