[QUOTE="Stick, post: 467000, member: 3474"] There's some great advice above, 13. Here's what I do... I usually have about 4 or 5 'active' blends on the go at the same time. As you do, the rest are cellared in their tins. Both loose 'baccy and my active blends go into a mason jar, or kilners as we call them this side of the pond. I label the lids and dip into them as my mood takes. I found mason jars to be the most effective method at keeping the 'baccy moist. Twist lid jam jars and zip lock plastic bags just don't cut the mustard and are good for only very short term storage. I'm not sure if Ikea has reached the States yet, but one thing they are good for is cheap jars like the ones pictured below. If I recall they were only £1 or so and come in various sizes. The ones pictured are perfect for 50 grammes. Before I had the jars some of my blends dried out so I used the jars to rehydrate them in the following manner. I cut a piece of plastic drinks bottle and jammed it over the shelf in the lid of jar. This is just visible in the second picture. I then take a square of kitchen roll, moisten it with spring water and trap it in the lid of the jar. This keeps the moist paper well away from the 'baccy. Shut the lid, leave it overnight and check in the morning. Repeat until desired level of hydration is achieved. That's my take! Good luck!
