better with age when stored in a mason jar

[Chicken]

i kilned, shredded, and stored all my bacca in large mason jars,

im getting midway on some of the jar's,

and i swear the taste is getting smoother, the further i get down in the jar,

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

perhaps, if i could do a 4 month '' resting'' stage with the bacca left untouched in the jars, it would be a smoother smoke, than fresh outta the kiln.

I know hanging cigar leaf a month or two after kilning improves it. I'd guess the same would be true with cig tobacco. -- John

What you are doing is called "cellaring". It is common with pipe smokers. In theory you pack your jar full of tobacco, put an air tight lid on it and let is set a spell. The tobacco will continue to age, as it does it off gasses aromatic compounds that eventually contribute to the flavor profile of your tobacco. I think the effect is much more noticable with pipe tobaccos because they are usually heavily cased. I put a bunch of different tobaccos into mason jars last February and I agree, the tobacco does taste better than before but I'm not too sure if I just hung the stuff in my barn for the same lenth of time that there would be any difference between the two. The one big thing I noticed though is that when I open up a jar of Silver River the mentol smell/vapors almost makes my eyes water.

Blends should also improve as the flavors get spread around to each other. I forget the technical words.

Marry, marinate, blend? I think? Maybe?

Anything stored airtight smells really good, I use a tin for my ready to smoke blend and after a week it's amazing

I found mixing the kilned silver river with my cigs. improves on most mixes. I have come to like it alot. Thanks for the seeds JBD.
