Remember to forget me!
As I'd noticed the cellar getting rather unbalanced recently, I decided to do a full detailed audit once the latest order arrived.
The Latakia tobaccos and Cavendish aromatics are still under 15%, but the Latakia percentage is creeping up. That's not due to me adding more, but diluting it with unloved blends, and also from bagging up the reject jar in Mylar pouches.
The remaining 85% is mostly Virginia based, and so it should age well. The share of that which is untopped and unstoved has dropped below 50% though, from me adding a bit more Lakeland and topped VaBurs over the last 12 months, and not replenishing the plain stuff I smoked. I think I also reclassified a couple of blends. So long as I keep smoking more topped stuff than plain, that should correct itself over the next year or two.
I do need to start getting off my backside more though, and taking some of the diluted Latakia blends to smoke in the park. Otherwise that share of the pie will keep growing.
