[QUOTE="DireWolf, post: 404612, member: 3732"] Lots of discussion and comments on aging - mostly VAs, but others as well. Some are bulk, some tinned, some loose ribbon, and some flake. I have to believe there is a bit of a difference in aging a (for example) straight VA ribbon vs. a flake. Different moisture content, contact between the flakes/pressed leaf, etc. If they are VA blends this would (I assume) be more pronounced. I have been reading/watching vids talking about the "sugar crystals" on aged flake - never seen that in regards to ribbon cut. I'd also assume that there would be a difference in a ribbon aged in bulk in jars where it could be packed, vs. the same blend in a tin. Looking at tobacco cellar dot com, seems that the most aged tobaccos are flakes. Has anyone played with this? I searched, and this was the closest I could find: [url=http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/t14512-flake-vs-ribbon-cut]http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/t14512-flake-vs-ribbon-cut[/url] Didn't speak to aging.
