[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 59313, member: 36"] I've yet to hear of [i]any[/i] straight VA or VA/Perique that didn't improve greatly from aging for a full aging cycle of 5 years. Some people think that even a year of age makes a big difference. As regards containers, the rectangular, pressed tins that Gawith uses are the most suspect of aging vehicles. It's not that hard to open such a container without the use of a coin, instead by using your fingers. As Gawith tobaccos are among the cheapest, they have to cut corners, so I view them with suspicion. Other tobacco vendors who use this type of tin I have successfully aged in their original tin. Unless the tin had more than one year of age, in which case I'd not want to lose that aging and would leave it alone. I've received Gawith lbs whose flimsy cellophane wrapper had been breached and part of the lb was dryed out, causing me to have to rehydrate before jarring. Not awful but a pain. Compare Gawith-Hoggarth's packing of a thick cellophane wrapper followed by a plastic bag. Even that can be breached but at least you know they tried. [/QUOTE]
