This bold vitalizing fragrance rides atop this distant notation of aged wood, soft tart pungency and docile musty barbequed spice. Breathing in its air the tactile effect is stirring by all accounts, signifying that Bag End’s accommodations should prove to be quite obliging. Overall, I would categorize Bag End as a mild to medium strength light English Pipe Tobacco in Cans with a subtle burley influence. The taste is that of natural tobacco with no additional flavorings. A quality English style blend from the Country Squire. Despite the presence of the burley, with its sweet/bright Virginias and delicate Turkish and Latakia flavors, Bag End smokes like a milder, somewhat less sophisticated version of Squadron Leader.
Volatilization, oxidation, other chemical processes take place, and the stuff changes. My belief is that once an aged tobacco is opened, it should be smoked fairly quickly, to enjoy it at its best. So, buying the 8oz bags, breaking them up into smaller quantities, and sealing them in jars is a reasonable alternative to the tins.
This kit contains everything you need to season and maintain a wood humidor for months. It’s possible a small amount in distilled water will serve the purpose without affecting the smoking quality. I routinely use a very small amount when rewetting moistening disks, and I haven’t noticed any bad effects in English-type blends. Once you open the bag, the process pretty much stops. The bag can be resealed, and will hold the contents in good condition for a long time, but transfer to jars is probably the safest thing.
Has a pleasantly lingering after taste, and lightly stronger room note. I once did an experiment in which I took the same tobacco, tinned 2oz, put 2oz in a bail top jar, put a bunch in a double-thick, heavy plastic bag. Tobacco bags were used to hold loose tobacco, which smokers used in pipes or to roll their own cigarettes. The bags were usually made of cotton or muslin cloth and measured about four by three inches. They were sewn
down the length of two sides, with an opening left at the top.

Your best bet would be to re-package it now, as once you open an “aged” tobacco, the little biosphere in the package will be forever changed, and things just won’t be the same afterwards. It won’t be BAD, but it will certainly be different.
I’m quite convinced that sealed, non-permeable containers, whether tins or glass jars, are essential for proper aging. For almost as long as I’ve been smoking a pipe, I’ve bought nothing but tinned tobaccos. I like aged tobaccos, and I’m too damn lazy to do anything else but cellar tins. I’ve certainly experimented with mason jars, and other types of containers, but for me, the 2-oz tin is the ideal package. If stored in a cool, dry place, it should keep the tobacco in perfect condition for many, many years. I’ve had tobaccos dating back to the 1940s, and they were delightful.
In almost all cases, RYO is cigarette tobacco, meaning it cut into fine strands and usually dried out. Pipe tobacco, on the other hand, is characteristically a coarser cut and moist, perfect for a slower burn.
