In this forum there are people with many years of experience.
My concern is: How long can Mason Jars keep tobacco in good condition?
I’ve been cellaring for less than 5 years, so take this thought with that in mind.
Cellaring is an exercise in diminishing returns, meaning, the longer you store it the less the tobacco changes. But, it still changes. Conventional wisdom seems to indicate that 5 - 8 year yields the most dramatic effect. Beyond that, tobacco still ages but the rate is reduced as time passes, but eventually, the tobacco ages too much. Everything I’ve read seems to indicate that after 30 - 50 years things tend to get worse.
My thoughts on this are: the benefits of aging seems to come from bacteria which must consume something. Initially, it’s converts the bits we don’t like into the bits that we do. Then, it slowly it converts things we do like into things we also like. Eventually, it either converts the things we like into things we don’t, or it simply consumes everything.
Anywho, I don’t plan to cellar anything past 40 years.
