English blends can get a little better with aging, but Virgina blends and of course my favorites, Virginia/Perique blends become so much better with aging it is really hard to believe unless you have tried some that are 3, 5 or 10 or more years old.

    For example, Haddos Delight is a really good tobacco. After 3-5 years it is an absolutely fantastic tobacco.

    If you have the inclination, try to cellar some of your favorite blend for a year. I think you will be amazed at how much better it really does get. Not as good results with English and I've heard almost no benefit with aromatics.

    At one time, I had well over 100, mainly 50 gram tins, of tobacco in my cabinet, most are between 10 & 15 years old. When I really want a special treat, I'll pop one of them open.

    On the subject of cellaring...

    I know I have blends that are 6 years old, only because I picked up the pipe again in 2009... And I know I have cigars that are 11+ years old... They were put away when I went overseas...

    The majority of my cellaring is me packing up to move and not finding tins for two or three months, so I usually figure I've waited this long might as well let them age a couple years.

    Just messing around the house today...

    We got rid of all the livestock on Saturday, chickens, ducks and the goat (hated to see him go) but trying to simplify for the winter, he wouldn't have done well alone...

    Pulled the tire from my 4 wheeler for repair, getting it ready for the first, second or third snow... Yes, I'm planning ahead this year...

    Reinforced the lower part of the house, the hounds are digging, they are a pain in the A**...

    So, it was time for a cob full of Lane 1Q, the good old standby...

    Lane 1Q is a damn fine puff I think. I might have to order some more of that stuff. It's been a while.
