I have a jar of Kajun Kake from 2008. When I first cracked the tin in 2018 it was incredible. Dark stewed fruits, rich sweetness and covered in plume. All of the amazing fermented goodness you'd expect from a 10yo Kajun Kake. I jarred it up immediately after opening, and it became a special occasion smoke for me. I'd only smoke it once or twice a year, but each time was equally satisfying. Last month I brought it with me on a trip to see family across country so I could share with some friends. Everyone, myself included described it as harsh, spicy, and ashy tasting.
I'm not throwing the blend away and plan to try it again and see if it was the climate or something like that. (I seriously doubt it was)
Has anyone else had a similar experience with a beautifully aged tobacco suddenly going off?
