Just finished a bowl in my WGM DAN98 meerschaum. I have not smoked any in about 3 months. I found this to be pretty powerful fresh. It now has about 6 months on it(I know this is not a lot of age). The blend has mellowed some and I find it to be a wonderful smoke. I am glad to have some tins stashed. I won't be ignoring this baccy anymore. ::
