First off, 'ziploc" bags are best for transporting 'bac, not storage, even for just a month. Take your "ziploc" bags and jar 'em up even if you are gonna smoke the 'bac right away ( 1oz samples might be OK, but more, put in a jar of some kind. ) I store all my bulk in bail-top jars as well as my flakes that come in the rectangular tins. Once these are opened, they can dry out pretty fast so I transfer these to bail-top as well, My 'bacs that come in round tins, either metal topped or plastic lidded, that I'll be smoking daily I leave in these tins as I smoke. This is what I do for my "using" 'bac, not cellaring or long term storage and I usually have only 3 to 4 tins opened at one time. Just my experience that works for me and the amount and way I smoke.MC":8frjh1di said:I have numerous open tins and zip-locks of tobacco I have purchased. Tend to smoke some more often than others. How long will tobacco keep in tins and ziplock bags? How many do most people keep in their rotation.
I agree.DrumsAndBeer":v7il1nvx said:Nothing beats a good old Mason jar for storage (long term, or just to use as a container to hold what you're currently smoking).
Me too. And in a way it sucks because tins are so much nicer to look at especially if they have nice graphics and cool fonts. I am such a packaging hound that I feel a sense of loss when I throw a tin in the recycle bin after the baccy is transferred.alfredo_buscatti":l5ar1b4d said:Since 2003, if I open a tin I jar it.
Pretty much the same here.alfredo_buscatti":madvvpm3 said:Since 2003, if I open a tin I jar it.
With snuff tins you can heat the underside of the top and peal off the label. I attach those to mason jars for long term storage. I haven't tried it to pipe tobacco tins. I may have to give it a shot.somedumbjerk":yzobyxfu said:some labels you can cut off and tape on the jars. that suggestion came from my mom when she saw me buy some tins. i told her i jar them up when i open them and she wanted me to send her the empty tins because they are so pretty. :lol:
