[QUOTE="idbowman, post: 386716, member: 2165"] Generally, I think there are two major considerations: 1. Vac-sealed, tinned tobacco and tobacco that has been moved to a long-term mason-jar storage environment will age differently (my VERY loose understanding is that they both age, but the process is different and can/may/will deliver a slightly different product at the end of similar aging times. I might be making this up, but I swear I read something by G.L. Pease on the subject (and, if so, I'm sure he's much more convincing that I am). 2. Moisture levels tend to vary more widely in bulk offerings. Personally, I find that most bulk offerings tend to be drier than tinned varieties - this can be good as some tins (I'm looking at you FVF) are way to moist to smoke without some time to dry out, or it can be bad as some bulk gets so dry that it negatively affects the flavor of the tobacco (and rehydrating may not always restore it to optimal flavor).
