Tinning tobacco...

[Wet Dottle]

...in tins, not mason jars.

I have found a few bulk blends that I would like to add to the cellar. There aren’t tinned versions of them, therefore that is not an option. I don’t want to use glass or plastic containers. After an extensive search on the net, I found a few options that use actual food-grade tin cans that are sealed by manually-operated tools. Some are similar to the tins used by C & D. I would like to know if anyone uses a tinning set-up of this sort. If you do, how does it work for you and do you recommend it?

Do you have a link? I'm happy with Mason jars, but that sounds interesting.

I seem to remember C&D offering canning services in the past. Maybe I'm just dreaming that....
