In the process of experimenting with aging tobaccos I first accidentally realized how much it can improve on its taste and characteristics of the smoke. The first "aged"(only 2 or 3 mths mind you) was just a catch all jar that got filled and set off to the back and overlooked as less desirable. During a cash stressed time I opened it up and found myself drawn to it more and more.
Now as I experiment to find a mixture I want to age which will be distinctive and unique to my tastes I began to add perique to the mixtures. This came about because I noticed a bit of perique altered the smoke slighted towards the "aged" tastes. Now I find myself smoking more perique blends than latakia. I am even trading some Pirate Kake for some Va/Per which would have never happened a few months ago. I even found the known lat bomb Pirate Kake displeasing almost. A few months ago when I sniffed the blending perique it smelled like dog poop! I feel my taste preferences are really making a strange transition these days.
I cant explain it other than "the search for that aged tobacco flavor".
