How Well Does Vauen No.14 Age?

[TheWhale13]

I bought a tin of this recently and have almost smoked it all pretty fast. I really enjoy the toppings on this one, and otherwise find it quite similar in taste to both 633 and Meistermischung 88, with the Solani being spicy and the Meistermischung being fruity, while No.14 is nutty with vanilla. I believe they use the same base tobaccos because they are all made by Kohlhase und Kopp.

So I'm willing to stock up on this blend, but I'm curious about how it has aged for you? Taste descriptions and thoughts are very appreciated.

It hasn't changed as much as other Virginia blends I have. I've seen more smoothing out of the rough edges, perhaps slightly sweeter. Perhaps that's because it starts out quite sweet when it is fresh. One of my favs, I have over 100 tins.
