[QUOTE="AJ, post: 466982, member: 2363"] It's not unusual for me to have 8-12 blends open at any one time so I have to work at keeping them from drying out before they all get smoked. I do this by using some 10 oz. mixed fruit jars that have the twist open resealable lids. I dump the opened tin into the jar and replace the lid. I label the jar and it sits on my table next to my chair with the rest of the blends. Whenever I want to smoke that particular blend it's a simple matter of twisting open the jar and filling my pipe. I've had tobacco as long as four months in these jars that still had acceptable moisture levels. I've even used these jars to store tobacco for as long as 3 years and when opened the contents were just like the contents in the Mason Jars. The lids on these fruit jars seem to reseal as good as the Mason jars. However I'm not sure this will always be the case. I have a few of the fruit jars filled with tobacco that I'm hoping will allow the tobacco to age for at least 5 years. I'll know how well this experiment turns out in another two years. For now I wouldn't recommend that anyone use these resealable jars for aging tobacco until more experimentation has been done. So far I haven't had any problems using them for short term use. YMMV! :) AJ [/QUOTE]
