Who Has Done Any Tobacco Aging Experiments?

Yes - the last thread got me thinking about the science of aging tobacco. I'm aware of Pease's writings. I'm aware many manufacturers laugh at the idea of aging their tobacco. I'm also aware still other manufacturers sell blends that they suggest we age. Can anyone point me to an actual experiment? I'd like to see the following comparison for example with 4 samples of the same tobacco:
Tobacco #1: 10 years old, sealed tin, never opened.

Tobacco #2: 10 years old, but removed from tin and "sealed" in Ball Mason jar with room for lots of oxygen.

Tobacco #3: 10 years old, but removed from tin and "sealed" in Ball Mason jar packed tightly with little room for oxygen.

Tobacco #4: 10 years old, but removed from tin and sealed in an oxygen-free environment (open to best ideas on removing all oxygen. Light a match, seal a jar, match burns all the oxygen and goes out?)
Has anyone ever done such a thing? Is there a chemist among us who could actually test sugar contents of new vs. 5, 10, 20 year old tobacco?

Mike - have you ever had the opportunity to sample the same tobacco stored two different ways? As in - tobacco 5 years in the tin against that same tobacco you had put in a mason jar for that 5 years instead?

Baking Tins

Hadn't heard of baking tins, but searched around and the tread I linked to was very informative. I might try a test with two fresh tins of straight Virginia and see if I can tell a difference (and if I like said difference).
And to help anyone who doesn't want to search and read a ton: Bake a sealed tin for 2:20 at 220 farenheit. Let cool. Wait a week. Then compare the uncooked tobacco against the baked.
