Well, I do see people smoking cc's with 40+ years on them. But I'm not sure how one needs to store/preserve pipe tobacco.

Preserving pipe tobacco.

If tinned, age in the tin.
If bulk, age in a Ball jar.

As tins age, they are susceptible to rust, starting either inside or outside the tin. Once the rust has eaten the metal, air flow begins and stops aging; thus periodically inspect your tins, and depending on where the rust is, transfer the tobacco to a jar. Once fermentation exhausts the oxygen inside the container, be it sealed tin or jar, the real magic of aging, anaerobic, begins.

VAs can improve over decades while other tobacco genres age variably. 5 years is a very important aging milestone, as if the tobacco is to age well, 90% of that aging is complete in that time.
