The way that I see it is that you are probably kicking out a decent amount of $$$ for this tobacco.

Spend the money now to seal it up properly (mason jars have proven themselves to me) because you don't want to open up a jar of tobacco 10 years from now and find it ruined.

If you break it down to each individual jar, I buy a 12 pack of the wide mouth quart jars to split up a pound of tobacco into four 4oz containers. I buy them for about $10 for the case.

That's less than a $1 for each jar and I know that when I pull them in 10 years they will be fine.

I use the boil method to seal mine. That's just my preferance. Again, it has proven itself to me.
