Cosmic on "Storing/Aging tobacco"

Advise I have heard older smokers tell new smokers. Don't think that just one time is going to give you an inkling of what a blend will taste like. Even now, at having a pretty good taster, I need to really give a blend a chance with several, or more, smokes to get any idea of what it tastes like. Try each blend in different pipes, because the pipe can greatly influence the flavor of the blend. And, if you are smoking less than one bowl a day... then just smoke one blend until it is gone. Smoking Nightcap on a Monday, and then Penzance on a Thursday, you will never have any real idea of what any of that tastes like.
And, if you are trying on Virginias and VaPers... it takes some intensive study on the subtleties of flavor to pull any differences between Virginias. You really want to stick with one blend until you get that "Aha!" moment.
And, smoke as often as you can.
Patience... patience...
