Hi Folks:
As with most agricultural crops, there are good growing years and there are bad growing years. Wine connoisseurs seek out bottles of wine in which the grapes were grown in certain years because it was a particularly good year for the grape growing season.
I am wondering if there is a similar phenomenon with tobacco. Certainly there are better tobacco growing seasons than others, and I am wondering if anyone keeps track of that and seeks out tobacco grown and/or tinned in certain years.
Perhaps it is a non-issue. A tin of Escudo, for instance, is a blend of several tobaccos and one tobacco may have had a good year while another a poor year. Or it may be that there are several different years' tobacco contained within a single tin.
Just curious if anyone ever seeks out a particular year of a certain tobacco.
Thanks.
