[QUOTE="Ozark Wizard, post: 473132, member: 3652"] I like the vacuum sealer for test pressing new blends, short term storage, blends I ship, and insuring anything I have in a 'squarish' tin doesn't blow a seal. The tin protects the contents from being crushed, but there's not much more disheartening than finding a breached seal on a cellared tin, and finding dried to dust tobacco. Rehydrating never seems to reclaim the oils the tobacco lost..... Long term storage is best served in glass with new, solid seals. Air in the jar allows a more radical change, so aging can happen. I think the idea of a vacuum sealed tin is so products can be more uniform over the years. (If you like the blend, it should be little changed if it is stored a long time compared to a 'fresh' offering). Hope this helps....... [/QUOTE]
