About a year ago when the pipe club was given Rande Reed’s cellar, three vacuum sealed one pound blocks of C&D Night Train were in the mix. Three of us received one, ranging from 2013-2016, and yesterday one member brought his in that he recently opened, and my oh my…. It has aged very well, but if you buy a pound, do not leave it in the heavy cellophane for more than a few years.
The gent that brought his opened it about six months ago and jarred two ounce blocks with 72% Boveda packets. He had determined that it was too dry for his liking.
I opened mine today and cut down the bevel, so both 8oz. Pieces went into a 2 qt. Jar with humicare packets and put into a place to monitor it. It was pretty tough to cut through, I had to use a serrated knife…. More like cutting into a plug than a crumble cake.
The one we smoked yesterday from 2013, was very smooth, tons of flavor, a nice heady smoke, and quite satisfying. The name of Freight Train is aptly named, it has a pretty good punch, and the flavors melded wonderfully.
I am going to pick up another brick, and down the road we will have a pipe club comparison… I hope that the more recent blends deliver the freight like the old one!
