Let's say you have tobacco that has dryed out significantly, and transferred that dry leaf in a jar as you would to age over the years. I wonder if that tobacco would still improve over the years like moist tobacco from the tin would? Any thoughts?
Will Dry Tobacco Still Age Well?

As a guess, not knowing how dry, nor the varieties, I am going to say, yes, yes it will improve, but not to the degree or rapidity of a tobacco with it's original moisture content.
It's LBF, and it's not very old. I wouldn't say that it is bone dry, but Its alot dryer than from the factory, lol. Guess only time will tell in this case.
Opinion, not fact. I would think moisture is essential for the aging process to occur. The dryer the tobacco, the less it will change with aging.
Then smoke a bowl right now! You may like it as is. There is no factory tinned blend I know of that can't benefit from drying, as they are all packed with more moisture than is needed or desired for smoking. There will be exceptions in the tins themselves, and the guy or three who likes it wet.
Fact. Moisture is necessary for some aging processes at least to occur. Doesn't sound like it's bone dry though. It will age. I'd rather have slower aging than mold.
