Got a bag of this in the mail today that I bought on a whim. I haven't tried it yet and you don't hear all this much about this blend. Am I better off cellaring it away and trying it after it ages a bit?

I have never heard of it but then again I don't dabble much in Esoterica blends except for "And So To Bed". Might be worth giving a bowl a shot and then cellaring the rest. I've always been too curious to just put something away without a taste.
I have no idea as I've not had it before, but I enjoy Esoterica straight VAs. I hadn't even heard this one. Located, and purchased, an 8oz bag. You're a bad influence!
I reviewed it about 18 months ago. I like my tobacco young, so I wouldn't cellar it for aging.
IIRC it has a nice wine-like taste profile with lots of nuanced flavors waiting to be discovered.
