I am currently in the process of aging Some of my favorites. However I am curious if there is anywhere to get already aged tobacco. I have been enjoying Mac Baren Vintage Syrian and am curious what the difference is after it's been aged 5-10 years.

Pipe shows are also another good place to find vintage blends.
You could also post a request in the Want Ads section of BriarBids.com, if you're looking for something specific. BriarBids has also just opened up a section for pipe tobacco trades and sales. Worth checking out.
Check out pipestud.com, who always has several pages of vintage tins. If you're looking for Dunhill blends: http://www.bruyere-pipes.com/vintage_pipe_tobacco.html (although you won't find any bargains here!). Chief Catoonah has a lot of vintage McClelland: http://www.chiefcatoonah.com/mccle-vin-tin.html.
I've bought a lot of discontinued tobacco on eBay and have never had any issues. But, yeah, there are guys selling tins with a year or two of age on them that they're calling "vintage" and "rare" or "discontinued." So just be sure you're looking at what you think you're looking at.

I was able to snag some of those Chicagoland tins -- which were all hand-numbered and signed -- even though I didn't attend the show. My favorite B&M had picked them up and had them on the shelves back in 2007.
(And, yes, easterntraveler, I still have them. . . wink, wink.)
