I just smoked a cigar more than twice my age.

Just wondering Matt, did you get any insight as to the storage and handling of the baccy? How do they keep the tobacco supple enough for so long, without developing mold issues?

Tim has small quantities maybe at most 100lbs of this tobacco. He has a temperature and humidity controlled room in his house where he stores his tobacco as well as temperature and humidity controlled rolling rooms in each of his shops. He keeps the tobacco on cedar shelves in plastic bags and occasionally goes through his tobacco supplies for stuff that he is aging longer and rotates the tobacco and inspects it. He also has some tobacco hanging and that is going to be for a very special occasion. I've been looking at those leaves for the last four years...
