Just buy one tin to smoke this year, and one or two to age. The tobaccos in Cheer are already aged a bit, but not in the tin. So it is not like it will be completely green. With some other blends, I found that a 5 year old tin was a different experience than a 2 year old tin was.

But while tobaccos will most likely get better with age, it does not mean it cannot be enjoyed now. Get some to enjoy this year!!!
