If this has already been answered I apologize, I'm at work and this has been nagging at me for a bit.
I just got my man cave cleaned up and organized, wineador is up and running (waiting on drawers to be built/delivered) and am now working on a work space (read:table) to start my adventures in home rolling.
My question is this. I know some manufacturers (ie Perdomo) age tobacco in various casks.
Long story short, I fell in love with the maduro Edition de Silvio. My first one was an original release that I was forced to buy after losing a bet and subsequently purchased the last 2 for my wedding. This was 4 years ago. I believe they aged the tobacco in oak casks prior to rolling them. I know I'll never be able to recreate my wedding cigar, but a guy can dream right?
Is it possible to buy leaves from one of the various resources and age some in some kind of cask or barrel assuming I got my hands on one. I'm not talking large scale. Would I be wasting my time? Is this something that's done as initial aging/curing or an extra step?
Thanks for any replies.
