So does that mean if I'm wanting to age it I should buy the tins and set them aside?
I ask because I've heard a lot of people who take it out of the tins and transfer to jars to age.
This seems counter-productive to me because it means you've lost whatever time the tobacco has already been in the tin.
Of course I know some tins are very tightly packed and others like Hearth and Home are not packed tightly in the tin, so there is some air inside. I would assume the air is good for the aging process.
Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong though. I appreciate everyone's input and any further information is welcome as well.
