    Virginia fermentation exceleration # 2

    Yeah I’ve found some great tobaccos too. Not to replace McC’s but to distract myself. Some I already smoked but many new adventures did arrive from their retirement. I wish them well. I’ve come to enjoy 3-5 year old tins of C&D that are not hard to find at normal price. The Sutliff matured is...

    Virginia fermentation exceleration # 2

    <p>Sorry I’ve been busy and just got a chance to come back to see what’s been cooking (pun intended). Thanks for all the replies, links, and ideas. I will dig into the info. I’m also a home brewer. That’s some left field thinking right there. I’m not sure brew yeasts would work as well as lacto...

    Virginia fermentation exceleration # 2

    It sounds like baking tins in the oven would be nothing more than stoving or toasting. Unless it was a short heat to freezer I don’t see it creating an air pressure. Good to know though for future experiments. I could see the oven method toning down bitterness in burleys, or creating caramel in...

    Virginia fermentation exceleration # 2

    Well the incentive would be fermentation. Russ from Hearth and home was helping me with another problem and educated me on fermentation a bit. Moisture and pressure equals fermentation. That would be evident from the process of the perique method of tobacco. I’m suggesting we do it with air...

    No no no. You very welcome to your opinion and palate. As I am mine. This is what the readers want it, opinions . As do I. I started several forced Virginia fermentation exceleration forums on this site. Please join and share. I think this is an important topic for Virginia lovers. Peace.

    I originally posted this to introductions (#1) forum - Has anyone slightly boiled and cooled a Ball jar of Virginia’s creating a pressure like an aged tin of tobacco?

    Virginia fermentation exceleration

    Has anyone tried slightly boiling a Ball jar of Virginia’s and then cooling it to create a negative pressure ? Much like a positive pressure in a tin helping it expand and causing fermentation ??? Maybe I’m wrong and boiling / cooling creates a positive pressure ? Still the theory remains the...

    Anyone ? Prior cedar and Woodsy comments ? History of preferring jars to humidors on forum ? We will just have to agree to disagree at this point. After all it’s just opinions. Let me just say I’m not a paid shill. I’m not saying you are too. Just saying. I have 6 or so pounds of rope tobacco...

    I thought I would re-review this tobacco feeling I missed something with a premature one angled approach. For those that found the cedar overbearing I found dry time reduced the cedar making it more balanced. Still I would prefer it without I suspect. This might be blasphemy to some, but I tried...

    I misspoke. My apologies. I meant cedar not pine.

    Noob to forum, first post, not new to tobacco. Hopefully this will help future buyers. The tobacco is by no means bad and I had a general idea about the pine box flavor before I purchased it. At first I liked the pine because it was different and I still do, kinda. Unfortunately it seems to mask...
