Let it breath for a week or two, then try it again.

Thanks for the great advice... will do

Buy huge plastic totes, throw your tins in it and then check them every 6-10 years. I never put mine in any kind of order. Mine are just laying there and I have no idea where anything is. I love being surprised all the time.

Like most said it depends on your taste and it isn’t that big a deal lots of times…. I wouldn’t buy anything I couldn’t smoke right away, and my cellar is a function of wanting stuff around in case it is discontinued or borders close or something like that, not for age, though I’ll take it…

Also most blends already have various ages on them, like eastfarthing with older lat.

Blends change a lot by six months.

Yikes, you might want to check for mold or something. I've never heard of a latakia blend tasting fruity.

Most production tobaccos are made to be enjoyed immediately. Some mellow with aging, others not so much.

Hmmm, I guess it's not good to smoke mold, but is it really bad?

Yep. Very, very bad. Tobacco molds are highly toxic. I suppose you could go for a lung transplant so maybe not such a big deal after all?

I am starting it today. I will post on this thread next week. It is a favorite. I am finding it interesting to read the discussion about how long you can cellar certain tobaccos. This is a strait VA and 9 years old. Ewing HOTW it ought to have that classic hay aroma, and that s gone.
so we will see!
