So I purchased 2.5 pounds of FVF plus one tin to try fresh just over a year ago. When fresh, it was not my favorite smoke but the 2.5 pounds I’ve jarred up has darkened considerably over the year. I wish I had put some up in smaller jars than half pints but this was really my first time cellaring. Anyway, I would like an opinion from the knowledgeable folks here in the Brown Leaf...do I pop one jar to try it ata year and compare notes or do I just keep patiently waiting? I’m thinking about going ahead and busting open one of the larger pint jars that I used and splitting it into two half pints, one to smoke now and let the other keep going knowing that I interrupted the aging process.
