Gotta ask ,Have you noticed some kind of difference with the aging process of this blend ?
None at all. Eventually the topping will weaken in a tin, so I'm smoking up my tins. Tubs hold the flavors better. Generally, aros don't improve with age because the toppings prevent the tobaccos from aging as one would normally expect. Long term, if the toppings in an aro fade, the tobaccos may age, but I am talking many years in this instance. And generally, I find long term aged aros have a less attractive flavor.

Daughters at school, wife's at work. Finished doing some stuff around the house, so now it's my time. I don't start my new job untill Thursday. Brought my whole glass jar of perfectly dried Carter Hall into the garage, and enjoying a bowl in my SMS meer apple, while having some root beer to drink.
