Message: <blockquote data-quote="Puff Daddy" data-source="post: 536994" data-attributes="member: 3"><p>The larger jars are great for long term storage, I have some I’ve popped after a decade and the tobacco is perfect. In fact I’ve found that tobacco seems to age better when stored in larger quantities and in larger vessels than in smaller ones. The only thing to be concerned with is once you’ve opened that large jar it’s probably a good idea to break the tobacco down into a few smaller jars and seal them back up so the tobacco doesn’t dry out. If you pop a large jar and start smoking through it, you’re probably going to find yourself with the tobacco going dry and starting to taste flat before you get halfway through the jar. I tend to break these quart jars into thirds when I open them, putting 2 of the thirds in 2 smaller jars for later and leaving the last third in the large jar to smoke now. It’s not so much to continue aging the tobacco as it is to preserve it in its aged state. Young fresh tobacco is, in my observations, pretty resilient to being in a container that is constantly being opened and shut. Tobacco that’s been aged a few years doesn’t seem to hold up to that as well, so having smaller jars of it seems to preserve the aged tobacco better.</p></blockquote><p></p>
