nice posts in here, speaking of pipe smoking,
i picked up an unopened pouch of Ligget & Myers 'Country Gentleman' Tobacco, early 1940s, at an antique store yesterday. has a savoury, woody sensation, think it's Virginian tobacco, goes well with the Houston Briar i put it in

If it stays sealed, the tobacco just mellows over time. I know of people smoking almost century-old tobacco.
I did not know about the nicotine degradation but I'd expect something like that since everything seems to mellow.
How were the 1939 German cigarettes?

the German cigarettes left a lightly grainy, strong Earthy taste. smelt sweeter than you'd think for an aging pack. strikes you with alertedness.
simultaneous worst and best smoke i had were harsh, bitter 60s cigarillos presented in a Clint Eastwood fashion

Those Wopitalian cigars that Eastwood smoked are sort of odd, since they use Dark Fired Kentucky Burley in with the cigar leaf, making for a much stronger smoke.
Interesting about the cigarettes. Anything with Virginias will get sweeter over time, but most cigarettes are Burley. Then again, White Burley is pretty close to both broadleaf and Virginia in taste.

didn't know that, all i knew of his cigars was that he requested a flavour that'd make him grimace, maintain that fair yet judgemental stare. virginians may be my favourites, half my family's from there and the other half hails from NC so call it a lineage bias.

the nicotine strength was mild so i think that degrades, i got an unopened pack of 20 1950s pall malls from the same store, they hit like new
oldest tobacco i ever smoked was with a friend, 1939 German cigarettes
