i know of many growers, including proffesional growers who after fully drying weed their weed they cure it for 3 months in airtight containers before smoking it, this is also common practice for medical marijuana.

great post, best answer so far.

Do not freeze and do not press, worst mistake you can make. Mason jars or other vacuum sealed glass jars are the way to go. Remember to keep an eye on them the first week or two, if moister starts to build, open and let dry a but. Moister leads to fungus.
