Will ageing help a poor tobacco crop; If my previous tobaco crop has low combustibility due to chlorides can age have any affect.

I don't think it will. I believe the threshold for chlorides in tobacco leaf is something like 1.5%. Once you reach 2.5% the leaf will not combust at all. Your best bet would be to plan on blending this stuff with other tobacco. Something like Virginia Gold would probably work nice, its a thin leaf and a quick burning tobacco.

Mix it with something else like burley it will burn easy . I have some Flue air cured like that and a little burley makes a world of difference .

I already mix a leaf here a leaf there. Better than mulching the flowerbed. I blend at least a
1-4 ratio and this years will be better.
