Does Hamborger Veermaster Age Well?

[JOHN72]

Aging well. I imagine that, as always, many factors will be determinant, so that this degradation advances faster or slower. But honestly, I don't think it will be better when it reaches a critical age. Fortunately my tobacco is relatively young. My few tins of veermaster hamborger, I don't think they are more than 6 years old. In any case, I hope they keep well, and you can enjoy them for a long time.

Mac Baren Flake and HH Pure Virginia can be (or used to be) purchased in 1 lb boxes. I believe GLP Union Square can be purchased in 8 oz tins. With that said, I wouldn't consider sacrificing the quality of the tobacco and my enjoyment of it for the sake of buying it in bulk and saving a few dollars. Pipe tobacco is dirt cheap even at today's prices. I don't even want to consider smoking a bowl of crap tobacco 5 to 10 years down the road and thinking "Oh, it's okay I'm not enjoying it, I save 8 cents per bowl when I purchased it."

True. Sir John’s it is then?

One tin at a time, yes.

Yes, it ages very well, actually amazingly well, but long, long term is not needed. Over the years of testing this tobacco, as it is one of my top favorites, seems to reach a great flavor profile at 3 to 4 years. Older tins in the 6 year and older range seem to be less lively and somewhat muted.
