I'm no tobacco expert, but I have smoked a good amount of this wonderful flake for years. My take...
The bitterness and vanillaish flavor seem to fade a bit, but some of the subtle vanilla and herbal quality do stick around. It mellows a bit with age and smooths out IMO
The only way to know if it rings your bell is to try it. As long the the expense isn't too much more than a new tin, worth the effort I think.
