Yeah, I guess that was the main impetus for (to?) this post: wondering about the leeching of plastic "tastes" and generally unhealthy things onto the tobacco over the long haul.
Storing the tobacco in the baggie AND jar is just me being overly cautious/paranoid/OCD. So maybe I'll take the plunge and remove the baggies from the cellared tobak, store it "naked" in the jar and maybe invest in some of that parafilm from amazon.com mentioned on another post to insure a better seal.
And yes, I will definitely continue to baggie up the stuff I'm smoking currently, even if currently means over the span of a year, in some cases. In others, well, let's just say it's a good thing they have a ZIPlock.
As always, Many thanks for chiming in your well-earned opinions, brothers. I weigh them very seriously whenever a decision is to be made.
