I have a few 1 oz samplers, maybe 5 or 6. I store them in a tupperware box, its mainly aromatics. Will I get a problem with ghosting?

The container is brand new, and never used to store food in :D

It have to do until I get some glass jars again.

I always have plenty of jars on hand in anticipation of me receiving my next lot of bulk tobacco, also have 12 large jars awaiting pickup tomorrow or Friday (Australia Time)

It's not very air-tight, but it's better than nothing
Actually, a good Tupperware works really well at holding in moisture.

I switched from a wooden box humidor to a "Tupperdore" for my cigars over 2 years ago

and will never go back! The Tupperware hygrometer only needs checking once a week! :)

I don't know about Tupperware brand, but plastic storage containers have intriguing properties.

When you store pasta sauce or chili in plastic containers, they definitely retain some of the smell

and coloring; you can see the coloring after you've scrubbed out the discernible smell. I think they

hold in moisture, at least short term (months). But there is a decided exchange of materials between

the plastics and the contents. Beverages in plastic always taste a little different than the same

beverage in glass, and beverages in cans a little different again. Glass seems the most inert.
