[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 44241, member: 36"] When I open a tin, as long as moisture isn't high, it goes immediately into an 8 oz jelly jar. If high, I dry to the desired medium between too dry and too wet, and then jar. Jelly jars do wonders in keeping a tobacco at the desired moisture level. When I open such a jar 6 - n months down the road, it's exactly the same as when I jarred it. Mind you I only open those jars if I intend to smoke the tobacco. Even if it takes me a month or two to finish that jar, the tobacco is preserved. Proper attention needs to be observed of the condition of the ring. If the rubber on the inside of the lid is scored and cannot be induced to spring back by a very hot water bath, discard the lid and use a fresh one. A related thought is that if you use jars and are cleaning them and some still smell of the old tobacco, the scent may be in the rubber under the lids; I toss them. Someone I trust said that if you can smell the tobacco through its container, you're losing flavor. [/QUOTE]
