[QUOTE="Briar Spirit, post: 277856, member: 2669"] Now that does interest me, I have been assured the best way to fill a jar for ageing is to fill the jar much the same way as you would fill your pipe with rubbed tobacco, leaving a subtle firmness to the 'bounce' of a thumb depression. I am most certainly not arguing your point here Mike, your point made me curious to know what others feel about this, I have never aged tobacco so I have absolutely no idea which is the better method, still curious though. ;) I have tried a sample of 5 yr aged FVF and the flakes were rock hard and broke into pieces as opposed to rubbing out nicely, have to wonder if the method of cellaring those alters the amount of moisture retained by the tobacco, hard and brittle flakes surely isn't the desired result of ageing flakes!
