It's a blend that's good fresh and one that ages well. I just polished off a tin from 2001, its first year I believe, and what a great smoke it is. I'm sticking to new stock for a while as it''s just too easy to smoke up all the old stuff. It does benefit from drying a bit. You'll lose the boozy essence, but more of the flavors will pop if it's allowed to dry out. I've smoked Haddo's in small and medium large bowls and it delivers. Think I'll pull out a large Barling pot and give it a whirl to see what happens.
