I am leaving it up to the Brown Leafers

Once you open it, it will be open forever. You will lose your 14 months of aging if you pop it open. Believe me, a decade of aging makes for some wonderful tobacco.

I'm going to disagree a bit. My understanding is Owens baccy is already jarred up, so no factory seal here. And sure, opening and resealing doesn't do the same thing as aging uninterrupted, but once it's resealed it will continue to age (or perhaps start again again).

I am going to take a portion of it and put it away for a long time. Once I am a bit better off financially, I will be hoarding Penzance just so I can put some away for a decade. It is a day to celebrate, so I figured "what the heck". It will be interesting to see what a year has done to it.

I thought you and Ed were friends? Why spoil his day with some stinky latakia?

I will have you know, sir, that it is not just "some stinky Latakia", it is 14 month old stinky Latakia

I feel honored to be the excuse for Owen to crack it open! I love me stinky latakia!

I'm actually going on the honeymoon tomorrow. I'll PM you my work address, it will be safe there, the new mailman in my neighborhood is a terror.

You can send it to me. I'll hold it for him.
