    Vacuum Sealing?

    This is what I've heard so far for traditional blends, but I've also heard that aro's lose their casing/flavor over time while "aging."

    Vacuum Sealing?

    No I want to take factory sealed tins and bags and ensure their longterm viability. For example, I have a sealed package of Folklore. It appears to be in a vacuum packed bag from the factory, but I can aboslutely smell it, telling me air is passing. I also know square or rectangle tins like...

    Thanks!

    Just want to leave a note of thanks for the podcast. I do a lot of work from my car so podcasts are by far the best medium for me to learn more about the hobby. I enjoy every show and the breadth of topics and guests from episode to episode. Keep up to good work!
