I’d buy it. Who knows. Could change my whole perspective on shit.
Here's an old thread with a lot of info and opinions on this. And here's another. I've done it with Escudo, and it made it suck slightly less.
It works well with Cabbie's. I get the best results with the sous vide.

I decided to crack open the oven every 20 minutes to check the temperature with the oven thermometer I have in there. Figured that was the safe way to go about this since the house is on the rig's power and it's inherently dirty.
The oven smells like bread is baking. Crazy.

So did you use an instant pot? Sealed jar?Here's an old thread with a lot of info and opinions on this. And here's another. I've done it with Escudo, and it made it suck slightly less.
Because it definitely smells like tobacco when you just bake the tin.
For sous vide, I just vacuum bag a sealed tin or wrap loose tobacco in parchment paper and then vacuum bag it. I've only baked sealed tins. Either way, 10 hours at 175 is what works best for me.
The aromas on the two I did have been intensified almost beyond belief.
Just a thought, the reason the aromas might have intensified is because they may be leaving your tobacco to join the big band in the sky due to the heat. Hope I'm wrong but it is plausible in my opinion. Reminded me actually something I read once, maybe here, that when we're smoking a pipe we're not tasting just combusted tobacco, we're primarily tasting the heated tobacco that's a fraction of a millimetre below the ember along with the smoke of the burnt tobacco.
Nah this is something lots of people do with no ill effect.
@trubka2 what’s the advantage to leaving it in the heat for so long? Once it’s reached the temp internally why would it matter?

To be clear, I fully support your experiment! Love the muppets. And you're pretty great too, bud
I left the OGS in at 190 for 4 hrs then shut the oven off and went to bed. No aroma in the oven this morning but the sealed?? tin had a woderful sweet dark fruit and fermented tobacco aroma when I unwrapped the foil. I'll let it set for a couple weeks before I open it to compare and sample. After reading the old threads I'm tempted to do a 6, 8 and 10hr bake on the remainder of the 5 pack but I'll wait till I try this one.
If I move on to that kind of timeframe I’m going to have to not use the oven.
I’m putting the oven thermometer in the crock pot this afternoon for that reason.
There longer you cook it, the sweeter and softer it gets, I've found. Up to a point, of course. The idea of keeping the temp low is so the tin doesn't pop, which would be bad because the point is to essentially steam the tobacco in its own juices.
