I have a question about how I should store the tobacco I have opened.
As I've still been in the process of figuring out what blends I really like enough to start putting in a cellar, I have quite a few tins open, as well as tobacco that I've bought in loose/bulk form.
The loose/bulk tobaccos I have in glass jars that I picked up at a store, that have little plastic/rubber gaskets on the lid. I assume those will keep the tobacco in good condition for some time.
However, what about the tobaccos in the tins? I have both the McClelland/GLPease/&c style tins and the McConnell/Peterson vacuum-sealed tins opened. Is it enough to keep the tobaccos in those tins, with the plastic or metal lids on tight, or should I stick it in the aforementioned glass jars?
Obviously I'm not talking about aging the tobacco, but just keeping it in a moist, ready to smoke state.
