[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 361436, member: 2403"] Just in case anyone is interested, or if you've experienced the somewhat unpleasant "ammonia scent" phenomena (especially with aged tobacco), I exchanged some emails with Russ Ouellette and here's his reply to this specific topic - [i]When a cigar is aged, it takes about a month and a half for the ammonia to leave the cigar, because it builds up inside the cigar and can only escape from the foot. Ammonia is a natural by-product of fermentation, and aging pipe tobacco will involve some fermentation. Luckily, because pipe tobacco is not compacted and wrapped like a cigar, a day or so of exposure to the outside air should allow the tobacco to breathe enough to disperse the ammonia.
