[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 175227, member: 36"] I think you've already stated the solution, above. My tins are no older than 9 years, but I have discovered pin-holes and have transferred the contents to jars. But other tins seem fine, and you read about much older tins in others' collections. Perhaps tins no older than 2 or 3 years can be counted on to remain intact, but with those that are older, you have to remain vigilant. In any case, from what I've read, while VAs do most of their aging within the first two years, and while significant aging occurs until 5 years, older VAs will age more or less indefinitely, but increasingly more slowly. Thus, if you've reached either the 2 or 5 years mark, a good argument could made that if you don't intend to smoke the tobacco, get it out of the tin and jar it. Then you won't have to worry about it. But this is not what I do as I favor uninterrupted aging. While some are comfortable with opening jars/tins designated as aging vehicles, I am not: a purist approach. [/QUOTE]
