Solani 100g tins - how you store these?

[admiral]

Aside from jarring such any other recommendations for long term storage? I am thinking about vacuum seal in plastic bags (don't have mylar here), but I am afraid it will dry out in several years.

don't have mylar here

Where be here? I use mylar bags. I can fit 2 tins in 1 bag.

Put them in a canning jar without the tin. Those tins are not sealed so the tobacco will dry out if kept that way. The tobacco will probably dry faster than in a couple years if left in the tin. That is my experience anyway.

Simplest thing to do is to jar it. The 100g Solani tins are useless against dry out.

I vacuum seal mine, no issue to date.

+1 on vacuum sealing. How could they dry out? There is no air transfer. What you seal in is what stays in.

I jar them like I would any bulk.

Why not just jar?

Why the hell are people so against jarring? It's like a call back at this point.

Don't tell me about space issues. I live in New York in an apartment built for Keebler elves

Hahaha, my sis lives in Manhattan in a 500 sq ft apartment. It cost twice as much as my 2 acre homestead with main house, shop, greenhouse, and guest cabins.

I am not against jarring. I just personally dont care for the extra step and expense.

Mylar or jars, both work for me, but right now the actual spaces I have freed up for tobacco lend themselves better to Mylar.

It depends on the amount of tobacco you have that is relative to the space to store it in. Jars take up to much room and are not easily stored. I do both and find that tins store easier and are not near as heavy as jars.

Not against jarring - just prefer to have it in tins if possible. In this case the tin is not suitable for storing the tobacco for longer periods, so I need to look for solutions.
Now the sealed bags will leave the tin in the game, but also not suitable for longer term storing as both will slowly leak over time. Combined will slow down the process but eventually it will dry out - although it may hold on for couple of years.
I fried of mine for example is duct taping the tins - everything not in round shaped tin
Thinking about it maybe this is the answer taping the tin and then vacuum sealing it. And yes I know how it sounds

Jarring is the safest solution for looong term storage no argue about that.

Europe - not impossible but bit difficult to obtain.
