I just cracked a tin of the 25’ today. The first 1/4 I wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t bad, just nothing special. Then it started to get better and better. I’m looking forward to the next bowl now that I know what to expect. How are you liking it?
Rummaging around looking for the next Latakia blend to open. Came across this. I purchased it in oct ‘21 per my note on the tin. I recall needing a few more dollars to hit free shipping on a P&C order at the time. This was on clearance for $5 a tin, so I added it. Looking forward to trying it. Smells Smokey and sweet. 
It seemed boring after the first light but, like your experience, it settled in and got much better.
It's hard to tell from 1 bowl but I think I just wasn't sure what to expect from this blend but I'm really looking forward to enjoying more of it.
These are currently breathing. Ive had Samarra before. But its been awhile. So I wanted to if it will make me fiend for it like it did the first time. Black Frigate will be a first time smoke

Tin seems fine... I only have a few of these but wonder if Windjammer will eat away the tin insides the way that Haddo's sometimes will... got pounds of Windjammer socked away

Very colorful tin of Nebari, the smell of dry cocoa and Oriental leaf ok!

Maverick Landmark Series – Route 66 (Broken Flake, pure Virginia), a sub-brand from C&D. This Virginia hits like a brute—feels more like pure Burley with its earthy, nutty punch and dry aftertaste, no sweetness in sight! No fancy layers, just a raw, steady blend.

I picked up 5 tins of old dark fired in 2021. The tin I’ve been working through was just off. I assumed since they were all the same batch they’d be the same, but I was wrong… the flakes in this tin are just perfect moisture and the scent of ketchup / molasses/ mesquite that was missing in the other tin is back!.
Earlier today I opened this bulging tin of 12/2016 Maltese Falcon. This hisssss was splendid. Tastes great on the first bowl, but I think jarring it and letting it sit for a few days will make it a it better.
