Pressing and mixing backys

[WordDragon]

Would it be okay to mix different blends In the same jar for cellaring. I’m going to pressing tobaccos into small pucks using a noodle press then wrap in parchment paper and label each tobacco. Would it be okay to place different wrapped “pucks” in the same jar to conserve space?

There are a ton of threads on all of these subjects and great information, the little search at the top is your friend.

It's probably best to separate them or at least vacuum seal each puck that goes into the jar to prevent "aromatic cross contamination."

If by different pucks, you mean multiple of the same blend, then go for it. Beyond that, it would depend on the contents of each blend and how they may react with each other or impart an unwanted flavour.

+1 for looking into vacuum sealing or using Mylar both as a space saver and as part of the home blending process

Before getting into putting different blends into the same jar, are you ok with the impact pressing a blend will have on the blend down the road when you want it?

What’s the impact that it will have?

It will change it. Every one will be different but the main point is, it will be different.

Like in a bad way?

Only you can be the judge of that. I assumed since you were pressing tobacco, that you knew what the outcome could be. Interesting.

conserve space, or conserve purity of flavour. Either way you will have something to smoke, but which kind of conservationist you are is up to you.

If you put an aromatic with a strong topping in the same jar as a simple burley blend, expect to enjoy some of that aromatic essence when you come to smoke the burley.

Not at all lol. I was only going to do it for space

No aromatics will be aged. Just different tobaccos. Cigar leaf, red Virginia, bright Virginia, and Izmir Turkish

Go for it!
I have found even putting tobacco in a previously emptied jar of a different tobacco is enough to impart flavour, but it has never been a negative thing...just a thing.
