[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 514797, member: 1723"] And further to my last post, the way I understand this is thus- Anerobic fermentation promotes the further breakdown of components (a.k.a. like composting) which accelerates the development of certain positive components. All of which may be more, or less, desirable depending on the viewpoint of the end user. Virginia dominant blends in particular are noted for flavour development during ageing. Helps to smooth out the blend and bring forward flavour constituents. When opening a tin, the ageing effectively stops but can be re-started by sealing and waiting. Which is why some smoke of the tin fresh and then jar up the rest for future enjoyment after the maturing has taken place. I myself prefer aged Virginia blends for just that reason. Again, the lack of vacuum packaging on the blends you listed seems to have not had a detrimental effect. And in fact favour development seems to be just fine IMHO. A contradiction? Yes, perhaps. YMMV as always. Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
