I've searched the posts and cannot locate an answer to this question.
I enjoy several of the Seattle Pipe Club blends and am looking to cellar my favorites. What is a concern for me is the "tin". While the top and bottom of the "tins" are aluminum(?), the sides (body) appear to be some sort of cardboard or paper. Are these "tins" acceptable for cellaring or should I be looking at transferring the contents to jars?
I recently purchased several "tins" of Mississippi River and one came in damaged, with the side separated from the bottom. I transferred the contents into a jar and looking at the construction decided to jar the other "tins".
On another note, is there a way to date Seattle Pipe Club tins? The latest ones do not have any dating on the bottom.
