Newb question about tinned vs. bulk tobacco

[NeverBend]

Yes, aging is basically another word for marrying, which is actually what is going on, in the so called aging process.

Your statement "Dry tobacco doesn't age well, (if at all)" is true, if we were actually dealing with dry tobaccos, they would not age and they would taste terrible, if we tried to smoke them. Truly dry tobacco would crumble as you touched it. I don't believe dry tobacco was mentioned. The idea is to seal, bulk tobacco, in a vacuum sealed environment, with as little oxygen remaining as possible. We are not sucking any moisture out of it. What remains is tobacco filled with natural oils (where the flavors come from) and whatever moisture is left and whatever amount of PG, is in the mix and a small amount of oxygen. The micro environment that is created, is ideal for the aging/marrying process.

Hi Johnny,

First, thanks for the info about the sealer and bags. I can't locate anyone selling bags thicker than 3.5 mil, do you have a source that you can share for them?

Excellent post. I was going o expand on some points but rather than hijack this thread I'll start a new one.

I know, I have been looking again since I responded to this thread. The 3.5 are really find and will work very well. I had found 5.0 mil on Amazon about a year, year & a half ago and picked up a 50 count package. Now I cannot find them either. I will probably order the 3.5 mil shortly.

Hi Johnny,

I'll let you know what I find. I want the sealer for food (to freeze meat) so I'll buy accordingly but I'll order a unit this week (or week-end). Thanks again.
