[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 212528, member: 1969"] I'm somehow imagining wax paper being added would cause small folds and wrinkles as a lid was placed on a jar, defeating the tight seal that comes from the rubber ring (if any) that is designed into the lid assembly. If it's a plastic (Rubbermaid/Tupperware) lid, they are not air-tight. The only sure-fire way I know to keep the tobacco not only dry, but aging with the benefit of the anaerobic action that happens when the atmosphere is used up in there, is to use only jars with good, rubber seals on metal or ceramic lids (could be canning jars, could be swing-top lids). I know some people take an extra step and dip the lids up to the shoulder of the jar in paraffin wax, but that's a bit extreme. Side note: no, you do not need to "can" the jars of tobacco with boiling water and all that--some people have tried, many have just made a big mess, a few ruined their tobacco by getting it quite wet. :lol: The seal or "vacuum" is created naturally by just stuffing, tightening down the lid, and forgetting about the stuff. 8) [/QUOTE]
