Do you note the date you received the tin or the date marked on the tin when trying to age for the future? Also which brands always have the date? This seems usefull.
Obviously if you have a date on the tin when you get it, it seems redundant to use the date received. I received some St. James woods from 2011 in 2013 so I'm not going to take 2 years of age off of it as it will be approaching the 4 year mark I believe in July.Do you note the date you received the tin or the date marked on the tin when trying to age for the future?
If you haven't seen the kate upton/Jennifer lawrence/etc. cellar inbox me and I'll send you the link. Best newstory of 2014. Very surprising at the level of photo's they took.I thought this was going to be about a new smartphone game in which you build your own cellar and attempt to pillage the cellars of others. I was also hoping Kate Upton would somehow be involved.
Hey, Kate Upton does not smoke a pipe; therefore, she is useless. LOL
Probably because cellaring is a relatively recent phenomenon. Three was no demand for dating tins until recently. I would imagine changing the process to do this would be expensive, and some of these companies are pretty darn small. ::It seems that older stock (when marked) is more valuable than the newer stuff. Why do some manufactures NOT mark it?
Precisely!If it doesn't have a date code on it already just the month and year I received it unless its a aromatic since I don't plan on aging those.
