You and me both. Hate not opening stuff. Two thoughts sustain me: numero uno: it's a first-world problem; and numero segundo: it forces me to age stuff.juanmedusa":sx93mhdj said:
Me too. I have opened 3 tins in the last week. Definitely a first world problem.Richard Burley":nmv9zd0l said:
Oh dude you're no fun with your practical way to approach this "problem" Back in the stoneage of smoking we usually only smoked 3 maybe 4 blends and usually opening only two tins at most. But that was back in the days of smoking ignorance and pre-web :twisted: :twisted: Complication is soooo much better !! :twisted: :twisted:Brewdude":6xag4ds3 said:Open tins are what mason jars are for.

If that's your goal, then keep it sealed. If it's something you'd like to smoke, open it and jar it up if you're not going to smoke all of it soon.
That's what I do FWIW.

Perhaps this is not the right place to bring this up but, seeing your remark here about interrupting the ageing process, I have to ask. What occurs when one opens a tin that interferes with ageing? The exposure to oxygen? Seems like transferring the tobacco to a well sealed Mason jar might allow ageing to continue. Happy if anyone can educate me on this subject.Brewdude":gn18v8cp said:
Don't think of opening a tin as interrupting the aging process. Doing so actually stops the aging process. It will start again once the tobacco is jarred back up, but the process is technically reset and the tobacco will never be what it could have been. But to all this, I typically say "whatever." Smoke your tobacco when you want to and don't get too caught up in the minutiae of it all, you never know when you may not be able to anymore.mikesan":lq2ka4p0 said:Perhaps this is not the right place to bring this up but, seeing your remark here about interrupting the ageing process, I have to ask.

I still have a couple of samples to hand out. So PM me and I'll send you a sample of both.RobJ":1s9pt1jy said:
