[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 33435, member: 487"] Hmm ... I would not think limited at all! The few tins of vintage 965 I have had (flat bottom Murray's painted tins with the old rectangular lane dist. sticker) - and I've never had the bulk, just the tins - have always seemed a bit 'muddy' to me. Perhaps that would be more accurate an adjective than 'flat'. I only noticed this when I began smoking the new Danish production where the top note really stands out. To my palate this is a desirable characteristic, both in this blend and many others in the same genre (i.e., English blends with cav.). That said, I would not hesitate to cellar this blend, both old and new because for me at least tastes change, sometimes a lot. Last year I was simply in love with Escudo, but now can barely stand it and have switched to McConnell Scottish Cake as my go-to VA/PER. I do, however, have 10 tins of Escudo waiting in the cellar should I tire of this ... and so it goes on...and on..and on... In any event, I am planning on doing a review of Standard Mixture Medium and then London Mixture in the near future (once I crack the tins, one new and one old). So we will see what happens with those. [/QUOTE]
