    Bulk to Jar vs Tin: Seeking tales of cellaring experience

    Most of my knowledge of fermentation and understanding of yeast comes from brewing beer. This article better articulates a subject I know a bit about, but, by no means an expert. I firmly believe in aging in the tin, and the results are different...

    What Have You Cellared the Longest?

    While I have some 10-year-old tins, I believe the oldest I have bought retail is at around the 5-year mark.

    Hmmm, don't like this but why?

    Things change over time, including tastes. It can just take that one note to put someone off something. I wouldn't say I like Orilk GS fresh, but it's perfect after a year or more. My favorite blend is unsmokable to me until after three years of aging. Go figure!

    Bulk to Jar vs Tin: Seeking tales of cellaring experience

    The answer is yes, there is a bit of difference. The effects of aging with oxygen and without oxygen are very different. Once you open a tin, the environment will never be the same. That doesn't mean it doesn't continue to age, just differently.

    Mason Jar Sizes

    I prefer wide-mouth 1/2 pint jars for everything. However, I am about to convert to mylar for everything I have been storing for more than a few years.

    The Country Squire Fans - Let's Talk

    While I have not smoked these, I have some friends who love Old Toby and Bag End. However, tastebuds are subjective and unique to the individual. It could be that it's not in line with what is palpable to you.

    Tobacco suggestions?

    If you like Nightcap, also try GLP Quiet Nights. It's a great blend, and I feel it's a little more well-rounded without some of the rough edges.

    Definitely a fantastic blend! I am down to one last tin.

    Red Raparee

    Its been a while since I smoked it, but it tasted closer to a Balkin than a latakia forward English blend.

    I find it extremely satisfying when I can peel an orange all in one shot without the peel breaking.

    Do You Like Latakia in the Winter and Virginia in the Summer? G.L. Pease Discusses for Aug 22 Column

    I may sneak a VA flake in over the winter, but I hardly if ever smoke any English blends in the summer.
