So due to all the blends I've been bouncing around to, I have just shy of an ounce of Stokabeys luxury twist I've not touched in a while. I've no interest in I it for now, so I figured I'd seal the jar date it and let it sit. Is there a minimum time one should leave a cellared tobacco once the choice is made to do so?
I also have the navy flake but I rubbed it so out so I'm going to keep it going the once or twice a month I get the urge to smoke it.

That particular tobacco that does well with 5 years age on it. But you can certainly smoke it before then.

I found I can vacuum seal the jar without the fancy attachment, I just drop it in one of my cannisters, and vacuum seal the cannister. So this one is labelled and vacuum sealed. Now we wait |

I wouldn't vacuum seal the jar...you are taking the needed air out...the air in the jar is what "ages" it.

For aging tobacco, in general, the aging inflection points are 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20 years. Notice that the time to make a noticeable difference approximately double at each step.

I'm not sure how the Twist will age, I'll let you know in a few more years. I just smoked some that I've had jarred for about 6 months and if I remember correctly, it taste almost the same as it did when I got it.
The Navy Flake I've smoked aged and fresh, i prefer it aged a bit. It softens it some, sweetens a little, and takes away SOME of the sharpness. The same goes for Luxury Bullseye.
I like all 3 from PS, but the Navy and Bullseye have a weird sharpness that seems to stick around even with age. Comoys Cask 7 (like bullseye) and 4 (like navy flake) are more smooth to me. It's a shame that when I found that out and started buying it... the price jumped up considerably.
Keep in mind that the aged samples that I have smoked were aged by others and given to me as samples. Everyone has their own way of doing things and I'm sure that the results vary in the end.

Speed method for ageing place tin on dash in car the sun will stove it. I suppose it is more of a stove method vs ageing but after a month behind the windshield the blend will be darker. Give it try you might like it.

No minimum. You could open the jar and smoke more tomorrow.
