After how many days do you normally start seeing bubbles?
I've never actually counted the days but definitely within a week
After how many days do you normally start seeing bubbles?
My experiments didn't create wondrous tobacco, my pressure treated samples of commercial tobacco taste similar to the original tobacco, but the pH was higher and the nicotine was stronger.
I packed one jar of burley and one jar of alternating Virginia and burley and clamped these down under strong pressure.
I put in as much leaf as I could. The mold and aerobic bacteria will use up the O2 pretty quickly; we will see in a few weeks.

Any time the humidity approaches 100% mold will start to grow. Mold can also grow in an enclosed space if it gets started by some other process such as condensation, then the mold can produce its own moisture from the carbohydrates, much like water is produced from your tailpipe from burning gasoline. Without oxygen mold will stop growing. Anaerobic bacteria can then take over, though it will not produce water, but methane and other chemicals, some of which we call flavors.
The perique process uses pressure to create a high humidity but anaerobic environment.
