[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 229046"] It's long been noted by others (not just yr. obt. svt. here) that tinned and bulk FVF differ very noticeably. It starts as the same tobacco, but the tinned is tinned within hours of being sliced. That locks in nearly everything it has in it. Bulk is put up in plastic bags that hold moisture but not the volatile esthers & other good stuff that's dissipating away into the air as it goes on its way from the factory to you. Leaking as it goes. It takes a specially-designed triple-ply foil bag to keep all that goodness in (such as GLP went to for a while). Jarring it when you receive it saves what's left, but what's left after a couple of months can be a pale shadow of what was there originally. Storage rule of thumb : "If you can smell it, you're losing it." :face: [/QUOTE]
