Left Opened Tin of Cobblestone Vanilla Custard in my Jeep Over a Year

[BriarBrook]

And it tasted 100X better than when I smoked it fresh. The topping/tobacco left a weird brown stain on my fingers but OMG the room note and taste were out of this world. For reference, I live in North Missouri where temps get over 100° in the summer(with high humidity) and winters have multiple days of sub-zero temps. Thinking about doing this to some of my other tins.

Does it have to be a Jeep?

I have SWRA in my glove compartment that I didn't touch in a year or more. I'm scared to even open it.

For the scientific effect to be repeatable everything must be done as described in the methods section of the post

That's hard to believe.

Well it was a Jeep and YMMV certainly fits here LOL

I did this with a tin of McConnell Ready Rubbed. Left it in my bosses truck glove compartment for almost a year.
It was perfect moisture when he found it and returned it. And I enjoyed it far more than when it was fresh

Glad to hear you had a good experience/surprise as well

Maybe this is the Wellman's Process they brag about on the Granger tub. Going way back, Forums members used to speculate on what that could be. One theory was that they left the door to the tobacco barn open 1/16th of an inch in curing the leaf. But maybe it was the Jeep oven secret.

I mentioned in another thread but I find this happens to a lot of aromatics. Age does wonders for some blends, the fresh air must allow the additives to escape or something.

Man my various jars that have been in my car forever must be amazing. Then again I drive a Subaru which is by far better then a Jeep.

I think I might try this in my old Datsun, it was made before catalytic converters so the exhaust aroma might age it nicely and give it "more octane"

I guess that’s what you call Stoved Tobacco for a year. LOL

Tried it in my Bentley, then my Porsche, and finally in my old Jeep. It has to be done in a Jeep....

I've actually seen doing this suggested as a way to pre age tobacco. Never tried it. Sounds like it kind of stoved the tobacco or carmelized it a bit.

I read "Left Opened Tin of Cob.." I don't know why I missed it last time. But, it sure sounds like the OP left a tin of Cobra open and left it for everyone to enjoy. Snake bbq for the lovely friends

In the army we had a fellow who would pile up his dirty underwear for months in his locker next to the bed, I mean, in the room where we slept about 30 soldiers. It was also mixed with rotten food. We called him Coco, the cookie monster, because he was so hairy.

I prefer the smell of the jeep.
