[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 228661, member: 2318"] There's been quite a bit written on aging, a lot of it contradictory. That said, I think bulk is the way to go. I don't see that any quality is lost vs tins and prices are better. Also, you're hedging against future price increases a/o shortages. I keep my hoard in Mason jars. I only "put up" what I've smoked and like, disregarding 3rd party liks/dislikes. (No offense. Ya gotta know your own prefereces.) Vas age best. Lats become more mellow, but some will get thin. Aros don't get better with age and, over time, turn back into burley. All mho. You can make your own blends, using recipes on the 'net. Duration? Couple years of aging is fine, though I have a lotta Mason jars with 10+-year old 965, EMP and assorted McC Vas. Make sure you have a good vacuum seal. Don't be popping 'em open to check. I use a cool, dark corner of my basement and leave the jars in the cardboard box I bought 'em in. My hoard is in quart jars, but I agree with the poster above that smaller jars allow better access and don't require opening a whole quart when all you want is a week's worth. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
