Ladies and Gents,
I took a six-month or so hiatus from the pipe and thus the forum but I have been getting back into it over the last week. Missed my pipes and everyone here dearly, but the break did come with a nice little benefit: All that tobacco I had stashed away has been aging!
Opened a tin of my longtime favorite, Mac Baren Mixture Scottish Blend. This tin was about a year and a half old when I finally cracked it and I must say, age really does change a tobacco! I love this blend with no age on it but the aged tobacco is quite a shining smoke. I realize that 1.5 years is still relatively young given some of the cellars showcased here on this forum but I suppose I'm writing to note that if that aged blends are subject to change and in this case it changed for the good!
Glad to be back.
