I am buying large quantities of RYO Virginia tobacco, and am wondering if age it for like 6-12 months would yield results in improved taste? Yes, I know one can not take cheap tobacco, age it and expect it to taste premium, but it not what I am asking, I wonder if it would improve its taste. And since I'm not choosy, even a smaller improvement would be appreciated
Aging Cheap Tobacco Still Beneficial?

It depends on the RYO. Some is quality tobacco, and some is merely tobaccos that have had all of the juices removed, mixed with a casing and then re-hydrated to taste like quality tobacco. YMMV.
I wouldn't think ageing would help, RYO for the most part is dry and age would be of no benefit, think you would end up with dryer tobacco
If you would consider D&R Three Sails as RYO,then yes RYO virginia tobacco can improve(at least for my tastes). It was harsh as I remember it but now seems smoother and sweeter after getting back at it after a few months in a mason jar. By the way, I smoke it as a pipe tobacco.
What I actually meant with RYO was raw tobacco. I somehow mixed them two up. What about raw tobacco then?
Are you talking about RAW (the brand) tobacco? Or are you talking about raw unprocessed virginia tobacco?
@anthonyrosenthal74: I am talking about unprocessed virginia leaves, but it is not any kind of premium I think
