[QUOTE="Mongo, post: 23032, member: 264"] For flat metal tins (round or square), I put the tobacco into a platic bag, fold up the bag (expelling as much air as possible), put the package back into the tin, then wrap a rubber band tightly around the tin to hold the lid down on the base. This pushes the soft sealing strip that's inside of this lid down onto the base, and has greatly extended the amount of time that my tobacco stays moist in these tins. For the "tuna can" style tins (the type used by C&D, for example), I put the tobacco into a zip-lock bag, seal it with as little air as possible, put it back into the can, then place a double layer of aluminum foil over the top of the can before putting the lid back on. This will keep the tobacco reasonably moist for a few weeks to a month, but not much longer. Unfortunately, there's no way to get a great seal on this type of tin, because you remove the sealing mechanism when you open the can. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
