Mylar And The Cellar

These could be useful if you were to seal square tins which tend to leak.

Good point.

Do you think the loose Tobacco ages as well in Mylar as opposed to glass?

I have personal experience up to 2 years with no concerns and great aging in the tobacco. And I have personally seen >5-7 years aged tobacco in Mylar ziplocks at Pipe shows being opened with perfectly aged and moist tobacco. So I literally put my money and trust in to the system. Over the next few months I am going to put all my Esoterica tins and 8oz bags in Mylar for the long haul.

I can’t believe I just posted 5 pictures that easy!

I know right! It’s awesome.

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, but that sealer is only 6 inches wide and the 5 gallon bags are 18 inches wide. How do you ensure that you're not missing a part of the bag when you are sealing it? I presume you just slide the sealer over a bit but are you overlapping to make sure you don't miss a spot?

FoodSaver bags aren't Mylar, and are permeable. That said, if your 5 year old tobacco hasn't dried out yet.....
