[QUOTE="Ranger107, post: 570185, member: 4357"] Bourbon, I am certainly not the expert here but I will offer a bit of advice. There are several threads on here related to storing tobacco jf you search fkr them. First, sealed tins will last almost indefinitely if unbroken. Once opened, I've found most will stay fresh for several weeks if they are good tins like McBarens. Also depends on the tobacco. One thing I can tell you is that the size of the Mason jar does not relate to weight of tobacco as jars are fluid volume, not wt. i.e. a 16 oz jar will not hold a pound of tobacco. My general rule is to go by halves.i.e. 4 oz of tobacco will fill an 8 oz jar, 8 oz will take a 16 oz jar, etc. And don't worry about packing too tight. Tobacco stores better if compressed a bit. And last, stick with Mason jars, not the fancy flip top jars from Ikea. They do not seal up tight and the tobacco will dry out after a couple of months.
