If I put tobacco in one jar, aged it for a year, opened it, put half of it into a another jar, and aged that another year… would the second jar be considered to have aged two years? Or does opening reset the aging process?
I think it would be a “partial” reset, as the tobak doesn’t revert to its prior character.Resets everytime you open the jar.
I wonder if people are unsure of what you meant by “reset” from your previous post in this thread. I know I am.Whatever process that was going on stops once the lid is opened and new air gets in. Therefore at that point, aging stops. No, that doesn't mean it will go back to seed before being planted.
Process of aging stops when lid is opened. Sort of like wine, once the cork is popped, aging stops. When lid is sealed again, the aging starts again, however, oxidation has occurred because the lib was opened, and at this point the tobacco is different animal than what it was if lid wasn't opened.I wonder if people are unsure of what you meant by “reset” from your previous post in this thread.

What did you mean by “reset”?
I believe it means the aging it was going through has stopped and it starts a new aging process from when you pop the lid.I wonder if people are unsure of what you meant by “reset” from your previous post in this thread. I know I am.

I believe aging would have continued. The tobacco is still older.Forgive my ignorance...
So if I age a tobacco in a jar for a year then pop it open for a bowl then reseal it, in another year's time it will have less of an aged effect (compared to if I hadn't opened it) due to it being opened?
It resets the process though nobody knows in what way.If I put tobacco in one jar, aged it for a year, opened it, put half of it into a another jar, and aged that another year… would the second jar be considered to have aged two years? Or does opening reset the aging process?

Aging is an unpredictable process.
I’ve split a large amount of a single batch into four different jars, which sat unopened, next to each other, for a decade, and varied in flavor quite a lot when opened.
So don’t worry about it.
This wins the Internet!So don’t worry about it.
