Dried out vintage tobacco kick



I've been on a mission lately to clear out my cellar of any dried
out vintage tobacco I have stored there. The result has been that I
now have an open tin of Mullingar's Moyhall, Garfinkel's Shottery and
Ridgeway & Savory's Baby's Bottom. The Moyhall is kept outside, and
with the cool damp nights we've been having here in So. Cal, it's
actually gotten moister. The blend is made up of Orientals which, when
dried out, can be harsh on the tongue, but with the night time dew
added in, it's very tasty (there's a pronounced flavor of cigar leaf).
The Shottery is tasty too as is the Ridgeway (both Oriental blends)
but the Ridgeway has something else added in (I believe Perique) that
can get my heart a pumpin' and my stomach a churnin' if I smoke too
much or too fast. The Baby's Bottom is absolutely fantastic. Even
though it's drier than dust, it smokes tasty and cool, no matter how
fast it's smoked. The flavor is deep; having the qualities of dark
chocolate, slightly tart but mostly sweet, and the aroma is spicy &
pungent.
I'm enjoying these so much I'm not sure when I'll get around to
smoking my other open (hydrated) tins of Dobie's Four Square Green,
Bengal Slices & GL Pease Westminster?!
