[QUOTE="GCook, post: 141346, member: 1491"] I recently sold off my Penzance tins that I had stocked up on a few years back because I disliked how it aged; it developed a burned-tire note and lost a lot of flavor, especially its lighter fragrances and tastes. Not every tobacco improves, in my experience. I hope the recipients enjoy old Penzance better than I did. I have an 8 ounce bag from '05 or so (and no pinholes, I checked) and really wonder about opening versus swapping it. Latakia can go either way over time, but VA's and orientals usually get better to a point. My current favorite old tins are McConnell's Oriental and McClelland's Dark Star. Too bad about SG, I loved Squadron Leader, but there are many fish in the sea. Especially now. Time to do some exploring. There are bugs or worms that infest cigars. I wonder if that has ever happened to pipe tobacco. [/QUOTE]
