May 8th I'll pop it and post. ?Way to take one for the team! I'll be interested to hear your results.
So thought I might give it a try. 220° in the oven for 2hrs 20 minutes. Tin bulged quite a bit but remains sealed. Paper label came unglued. I put the tin in the back of the cellar for 2 weeks andView attachment 27779View attachment 27780View attachment 27781View attachment 27782 will come back to this with pictures and my limited ability to compare to a fresh tin.
Just following directions from previous post on this site. Stay at home is encouraging me to play diy at home. It may turn out to be scifi stuff but at this point in my lock down it seems like a good idea? ?Any science behind the numbers you are using? Lots of 2s in there for sure!
Thanks I'm hoping it turns out to be a speedy way to enjoy fresh tobacco that I don't have to sit on for a spell.?✌Cool! Always fun to experiment with stoving. Hope it meets your expectations and enjoy!
Well anytime you’re starting with a base of Reds it bodes well. I’ve only stoved OGS and I was very pleased with the results. I bet it will turn out delicious!Thanks I'm hoping it turns out to be a speedy way to enjoy fresh tobacco that I don't have to sit on for a spell.?✌

Thanks holding my breath. I enjoyed Butera Dark Stoved Royal Vintage but was not educated enough to cellar some away before it went the way of so many Blends. If this works out I plan on stoving some Virginia next.✌Well anytime you’re starting with a base of Reds it bodes well. I’ve only stoved OGS and I was very pleased with the results.

Sorry I haven't been able to figure out adding links. Hit the search icon for baking tobacco and scroll through past threads. ??That's pretty cool. Can I trouble you to link me to the previous thread? TIA.
Here's is the one started from @BROBS recently..That's pretty cool. Can I trouble you to link me to the previous thread? TIA.
Thanks for an early report it sounds like what I'm shooting for. I've read it helps to let the tobacco rest to reabsorb the moisture that's why im waiting 2 weeks to pop my tin. ?This had me intrigued and so I stoved a tin of CRF over the weekend. I opened it after the 2 hours and some cooling time and noticed under the lid there was quite a bit of condensation which hopefully doesn't cause any I'll will to the tobacco.
I dumped all the tobacco out on a coffee filter to dry up a bit, then took a bowl full to dry further before filling a bowl. The smell was like toasted almonds, or maybe even more of the burnt bread aromas. The tobacco was a more mellow smoke, with minimal harsh notes that CRF tends to have when first opening a tin.
One thing that aged tobacco has and this doesn't is that fermentation smell, like a nice malty beer. (I still dream about that 2010 Opening Night I smoked a few years back). It's good tobacco stoved, and fun for something different, but I'll let mother nature hopefully do her thing to age my other tins naturally.
