How do you store your open tins?

These are foolproof. I never store opened tobacco in the tins anymore, since the "Penzance Disaster."

I always jar my opened tobacco. I have about 12 different "opened" tobaccos that I'm currently working through, some of them open over a year, and very experienced only the very minimum of dryness by using the small mason jars shown above.

Just a note. The 4oz jar is great to pack in 2oz of tobacco. Same goes for 8oz jars for 4oz of tobacco. Never needed a larger jar than that. I figured if I did start buying by the pound I'd split it up among 4 8oz jars.

Correction. The 8oz jars are the small ones and the Pints are the larger ones.

(the jar guys)

1. Put suitably moistened tobak in a clean canning jar; and
2. screw the lid down.
3. When you need the tobacco in coming years, open the jar and take it out; then
4. screw the lid back down tight.
5. A little leftover spaghetti-smell ghosting from a lid does not screw up virginia tobacco as bad as leftover latakia smell in a briar. Trust me on this.

You just can't beat an 8- or 16-oz jam jar with a stick.

Yep. The small 8 oz jars are perfect for a single tin's worth of tobacco.
