[QUOTE="DrumsAndBeer, post: 473119, member: 2403"] I am under the impression that the Food Saver vacuum seal bag, while quite thick & durable, are still gas permeable. They're great for keeping food in an oxygen deprived freezer environment, but because of the gas permeable issue, I still think that jars would be a superior option. Now I have heard of a couple mega-deep cellar collectors vacuum sealing all of their European circular, square and rectangular shaped coin style tins to keep them from losing their seal. For one it adds an extra barrier between the contents of the tin and the outside, but it also squashes the lid and tin together. I have a food saver unit, and for lack of jars I once vacuum sealed a bag of Stonehaven. I unearthed it about a year ago after my dad gifted me an enormous stash or Fido bail top and 8oz Ball Mason jars. When I went to jar up the Stoner-head, the only thing I can really report is that the flakes were so mashed so together that they broke apart in petrified chunks and peeling them apart as intended was all but impossible. The tobacco smokes great, but I can't really say whether or not it benefited or suffered from the treatment. [/QUOTE]
