Specifically unopened bags. I have my bags in jars. What is your preference and why?

I take the tobacco out and store it in several small canning jars.
Think it will store fine in the mylar bags it comes in though.

Seeing as I purchased my Esoterica to smoke, and not to resell, they are kept in their original tins or divided into mason jars.

 
I divide mine into 2ozs and put them in the smallest sized Mason jars. I don't want to open a large jar or whole bag in 5-10 years and have to smoke it all as fast as possible, before an aged blend goes to sawdust. Having smoked quite a few aged blends, I've learned the hard way never to store more than I want to smoke in a week in a jar. If I aged a whole bag, might as well just grab a handful and toss the rest in the garbage when I open it.

In original mylar bags within a vacuum sealed bag. (Belt & Suspenders, just to be certain)

Once opened, divide into 2 oz jars, vacuum sealing all except one from which to smoke.

After reading some accounts of the bags leaking at the seams I got one of these to store them in. I don't think it's completely necessary, but you could add a humidifying jar to the container if desired.

Once opened the lose trading/selling value. I've had an 11yr old cream colored bag of penzance that was off the charts stellar. I store all my Esoterica as is. Never had an issue.
