[QUOTE="Tate, post: 352488, member: 3229"] Ammonia and ammonium are a natural byproduct of composting action. The compost process happens as bacteria break down material in the tobacco. This can be anaerobic or aerobic. In the case of these tobaccos it is almost certainly the anaerobic action, that meaning that all oxygen was depleted around the tobacco before the action took place. You may try to air the tobacco a little bit and possibly "turn" it before smoking to let all the byproduct gases of the aging process dissipate. Generally I'd say this is a good sign since it would mean that your tobacco is stored air tight and it IS aging well if you can smell the ammonia. [/QUOTE]
