[QUOTE="gravel, post: 570183, member: 2125"] If a tin is sealed/never opened, I leave it alone. I do check them every now and then to assure the seals are not compromised. Many of my tins are now 10+ years old. They can last a long time. If I open a tin to smoke from and plan to keep smoking from it, I don’t transfer it to a mason jar. I simply secure the tin as well as I can. I’ve currently have an open tin of Cult, a cherry aromatic. It’s been opened since Sept. This tin is a screw top variety. If it were square tin like Gawith uses, I jar immediately after opening as those do not reseal. After opening a C&D style tin, I confirm the plastic top is sound and free of cracks. If it is, I leave it in the tin. I rarely use pouches, but when I do I don’t worry about them - opened or closed. I opt for smaller jars for most jarring needs as they allow greater portability and minimize potential impact on aging tobacco. Packing bulks into these allows me to open one to use and leave others to age. If memory serves, a 50g tin fits in these smaller jars easily. [/QUOTE]
