yup 2021, it will taste good now but should mellow and smooth out over time, a good one to age

Great review. Love Quiet Nights. A nice umami/buttery finish to most of GLP's blends. Your accent reminds me of John Cale from the Velvets. Is it Welsh? Anyway, nice review.

I just found a opened tin of Quiet Nights I bought over 10 years ago, but had long forgotten about. I didn’t bother to seal it for storage - I just popped the lid on and set it aside. Until today. When I opened it I noticed some sugar crystallization on the inner papers but the broken flakes were still, much to my surprise, pliable. I smoked one bowl of it and I’m shocked at how well it has preserved. It’s mellower than I remember it, but it still has plenty to show for it.

tobacco is remarkably resiliant, if your tobacco is dry just breath on it a few times and it will start to soften

That logic is exactly why I don’t toss away or give away tobaccos I don’t like right away. Put it away and give it time. The tobacco changes and so does your palette. Unless someone else really wants to try it, then samples go out.

During Tony's live I smoked Latakia blend for a first time for at least six months, but It's been a year since I've smoked them in my regular rotation. And it was QN in my bowl too. It was kind of a test if I could get my appetite for Latakias back. It tasted as good as I remembered, so maybe I'll smoke Latakias more often than I did last year, but hard to see them as my regular smoke.

You’re spot on Simon. I haven’t touched Latakia for many months and at the moment it’s all I want to smoke. This too shall pass. I do prefer the more oriental complex blends such as Abingdon, Charing Cross, Odyssey.

I'm hit and miss with Orientals, if they're too floral and in granny pants terrotory I pass, otherwise I do enjoy them in a well balanced mixture
