Any so called improvement?

christian1971

I have a bunch of jars filled with mississippi river, anniversary kake, solani burley, blackhouse and magnum opus. Put them in jars last march. Will there be any "improvement" since then?

I'm curious, do unopened tins/cans age the same as jarred? I almost always buy at least 2 and I like the way they stack better than jars.

As long as the Tin is not open, it will age wonderfully.

I find flakes age really well, basically any VA or VA/Per based blends, Burleys as well. Aromatics don't do much except mellow on their flavor.

Depends on the tin type. There are two types of tins. The one that you need to open with a coin or knife and the other that is a pull top. The ones that open with a coin are vacuum sealed so there is no air in the tin. These will age but at a much slower rate and I am told the aging over a very long period will be a little different result. The other that is a pop top is not vacuum sealed. It is air tight but air is allowed to remain in the tin. These age essentially like a jar.

Thinking about aging; I have some time latter I will try to start a thread on it with everything I have read and done. What works for me and does not and blends that seem to show improvement etc. that might help and it is good for me to think through again too.
