Alright, so I know we always talk about aging certain blends and certain blends develop over time into sublime tobaccos after aging for even a few years to even better the longer you let it age.
I've found that I am really liking some Burley blends and would like to buy some bulk up for my future smoking pleasure. As I've said before, I've never really been about storing for the purpose of aging tobacco, but more out of wanting to have it around to smoke in the future should they disappear next year or whenever.
I want to buy some Boswell's Premium Burley and stockpile it. It's fantastic stuff. Burns cool, tastes great and it is a very nice, even smoke that I could see myself smoking for a long time, but I also have a taste for Carter Hall, which made me wonder if it or other readily available OTC blends could be aged. I love it right out of the tub/pouch, but can it age well? Does it age well?
I usually only see people referencing Virginias as the best agers and CH does have some Virginia in it. I'm curious to know if any of these good, old codger blends would age well. If so, I might like to try running my own experiment. Stockpiling some of these blends just to see what happens, but if anyone else has tried it and finds it to be a waste of time, then that's some good information I'd like to have before I spend money on the tobacco.
So, what say you? Codger/OTC blends worth trying to age or would they just taste the same or mellow to a point of being a worthless endeavor?
