Of course I don't vacuum seal the jars, just fill to near the top with tobacco so as to leave as little air space as possible. The jars I've opened up several years later were just as moist as they were when packed.
You hit the nail on the head. That's why I use either 8oz Jam Jars or 16oz wide-mouth jars. Their the only ones that will stack.HCraven":mpd40jg7 said:Be forewarned that those squat little jars don't stack as nicely as you'd think they would, though.

On top of that, tobacco needs a bit of air to age. Mr. Pease covers vacuum sealing in his FAQ section.

I have no idea how long the food saver bags would keep tobacco good. But I don't intend to find out.
