This I didn't know... Thanks Adam...

I'd open it... then smoke it! If you only have one you really don't have a point of reference weather it's better or worse with age. IMHO, many NC's don't really improve much with a lot of age. They lose strength which you may or may not like but flavors don't develop like the CC counterparts.
