Jim, since I’ve seen you smoking some aged EGR, I bought 2 Tins back in February of this year for the cellar. What’s your experience on aging this tobacco? I’ve been tempted to open one up to smoke now, but will wait if a little more time is beneficial. You must’ve bought a lot of 2014?
maybe I need to buy more?
Age will not benefit EGR or any aromatic in a tin long term, which is why I'm smoking through all my tins before I get back to the tubs. So far, no problems with the 2014 tins. I've seen a little change in the tubs over a few years time (you should sampled the 20 year old tub I had!!), but not much in the tins outside of the burley being a tad more prominent. Eventually, the toppings will weaken in the tins, which is not uncommon, so I decided not to take any chances. As EGR toppings are mild, I was concerned about losing any.
