The last dregs of McClelland's Holiday Spirit on top of the last dregs of Sutliff Pumpkin Spice in a Maddis blasted apple. Very appropriate for the last smoke of the year. Lemonade on the side.  |

I 100% echo what John says here. I have no problems whatsoever with any of my myriad open aged tobaccos in jars. Even 10-20 years of age I've got in mason jars for years and dip into whenever I feel the need.
I've got a large open tin of Heinrich's Golden Sliced jarred currently.
Good stuff, sharing personal experience helps inform us all. In the instance of my tobacconist, the tobacco was 30-40 years old...it tasted great the night of the smoke, a few days later it tasted like dirty disgusting old tobacco. Yes and I have had this same experience with really old tobaccos. In fact, Darin once sent me a whole tin of 1944 George Washington Flake and after smoking one bowl that tastes like the real George Washington, it was entirely overtaken with mold the following week  I still really appreciate that he sent me that jar and it stinks it was so compromised. That's the gamble we take with that much age. |

A tip for OGS fans: Try Heinrich's Golden Sliced some time. OGS is good, but I like Heinrich’s better, I'm already there. I failed to mention it, but that's another favorite. Have a few 7-oz tins aging. |

Jumpin' on the OGS bandwagon, with an Upshall Dublin.  That's a real beaut, Pete. Awesome grain. |

Trying to smoke a little more slowly. That'll certainly help the fresh Virginia experience. A pipe that size with grain like that would fetch a pretty penny if it were being sold new today. |

Upshall made great looking pipes. They all had really good grain. This one has great grain, all the way around the bowl. Nice birds eye on the rim. Got it from SP earlier in the year. But now, its back to that earlier cob filled with Three Friars.

HH Latakia Flake in a cob I usually smoke aros in. So it had a small sweetness to it I liked it. So going to try to figure out how to recreate this odd enjoyment again 5-10% sweet cav to it mite work.
