[QUOTE="Wet Dottle, post: 44245, member: 192"] Different types of tin preserve the contents differently. The twist-top round ones, european-stype, are the best. They preserve the tobacco well for 3 to 4 weeks. The square ones are not very good and only work for a week or two. The plastic top ones a la McClelland and C&D work well for a couple of weeks. For the latter type, Greg Pease recommends the use of tin foil under the lid. I use a thick rubber band in all tins to help improve the seal, something I learned some time ago in ASP. It really helps. I always consume a 50 g tin in 2 weeks or less, in which time I never had a problem with tobacco flavor being lost or noticeably altered. In my case, most of the drying actually takes place when opening the tin for a fill-up. [/QUOTE]
