Problems with storing tobacco

lazybugger · Jan 18, 2013

hi , I was wondering what problems I could encounter with storing tobacco? I have nice sealed glass jars in a cool dark place ... could they get to moist or suffer from mold ... its such a pain getting it here thst I would hate months of work collecting to go down the drain due to my stupidity

As long as you haven't added any extra moisture to them (like spray the tobacco with too much distilled water or add humidification devices to the jars) mold should not be a problem.
Taking tobacco out of the tin, and putting it in jars is the way to go.
Of course you can periodically check your stash, but again, if it wasn't soaking wet when you jarred it, and you did not add any extra moisture, I bet you are safe.

Leave it in the tin until you are ready to smoke it,then put it in the jar. Don't add moisture. Don't add a humidification device. No problem.
