I was mildly active on this forum a several years ago (and for a short time). I threw myself into the hobby after an uncle bequeathed his pipes to me. I ventured down the usual path of an enthusiastic new pipe smokers--buying and smoking *lots* of tobacco. Too much, in fact! I stopped smoking altogether after a brief illness.
I recently came across all my tobaccos--almost by accident. It's like I found a stash of hidden Christmas presents: Marlin Flake, 5100, FVF, 1Q, Storm Front, Escudo, Frog Morton, Irish Flake, Anniversary Cake, Blackwoods, and others. All stored well. So I'm back to the pipe, although I'm smoking at a more moderate rate and steering clear of red virginias (too bitey).
Have you ever come across previously stored tobacco you forgot or didn't know you had? What was it? Had the aging improved it?
