[QUOTE="sand18f, post: 170224, member: 1517"] A new Mason jar, unopened, is sterile. I put my bulk tobacco in these. If the jar is a little warmer than the environment, when you put the lid on and tighten it, it will seal when when it cools. You'll hear the lid pop...most of the time this happens at night, when it's cooler. The oldest jar that I have is some 6 yr. old SG 1792. It's very good. Don't make it any more difficult than it is. Use a clean jar, clean hands, good tobacco, seal with hand tightly, label, keep in cool dark place. I don't use quarts anymore because I dropped a quart full of Bayou Morning. :( I use the half pint jelly jars. I also use these for multiple tins that I'm trying for the first time. For the special tobacco that friends give me, I use the squat, fat and fancy half pints. I label mine by using a Sharpie and writing the company, blend and date of tin or the date of being jared, in some cases. That way when I finish a jar, I can remove the label by wipping with alcohol. A white address type label is easier to read and find but, I don't like to scrape labels. For what it's worth. Bill [/QUOTE]
