Now at the two year mark aging in a Ball jar, Bowling Green has blossomed into a delightful smoke. I don't know who blended my batch but whoever it was used green leaf. Let your tin age at least a year otherwise you will not be impressed. A totally different blend than the one I got when freshly opened!
I had initially reviewed this blend over a year ago and wasn't impressed but did imagine that aging would significantly improve this blend so I stuffed it in a Ball jar, hid in the back of a drawer and waited. While this will not make 4 stars it did improve to a 3 star. Being an all Virginia blend it has mellowed and melded the flavors while increasing the sweetness. Also the cake has darkened over time and accumulated sugar crystals. I will thoroughly enjoy my 4 ounces.
