[QUOTE="Dutch, post: 434982, member: 1387"] Kaitlyn, you will usually notice that as you are smoking a tin, the flavor just seems to improve as you get closer to the bottom. Like some have already stated, this is from repeated exposure to air entering the tin, and I tend to agree. As soon as I see I am getting a few weeks away from needing to crack open a new tin, I go ahead and break the seal, and begin exposing the tobacco to air for a few minutes daily. I like to remove the lid and leave it standing open, for at least 7 minutes, but not less than 5. I'm not attempting to dry the tobacco, just to expose it to fresh air. If over time the tobacco starts to dry out, I will mist the inside of the lid with a little water. Like George, I too am a fluffer. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's clumped up tobacco. Fluffing give the optical illusion that you have double the tobacco, which is always a satisfying result. Once I complete the initial fluffing, I might let the tin stand open longer than 7 minutes, on the initial exposure to air, just to give it a good head start. [/QUOTE]
