[QUOTE="Natch, post: 120335, member: 45"] It could cause an initial leaking of the seals, as I'll assume most tobacco blenders are located at a lower altitude than you're at. And even though they are vacuum sealed, the strength of that "suction" should be based on a comparison to the outside ambient air pressure, which would be inherently greater near sea level. As they were shipped to you at a higher altitude, with a lower ambient external air pressure, the vacuum inside would be less in comparison, therefore allowing for a greater chance of leakage? If they're the square tins such as G&H or SG, I've had bad luck with them often becoming loose and loosing their vacuum seal. Natch [/QUOTE]
