Are you currently cellaring any tobacco?
I haven't started yet, but need to. Is there a specific method to the madness, or just put away tobacco that you want to mature in jars for leter use?
New to much of this as you might tell.
I am sure there are others here with different methods, but I will tell you what I do because it was how I was taught to do it. Simply buy some mason jars, clean the jars before use, and then let the jars air dry overnight. Next, put your loose tobacco in the jar and seal it (put the lid on and screw it on). Do not heat seal the jars. I know a lot of people do this, but it isn't necessary and is possibly harmful long term. You can fill the jar to the top, or leave some room for air. I recommend you leave a little room for air because it is vital in the aging process. Either way, there you have it. Jar it, close it, put it up.
Not sure if you know this either, but aromatics do not age well so avoid keeping those long term.
