First post - greetings everyone. I have a question for the group.
I'm fairly new to pipe smoking (6 months or so) and have slowly accumulated a good number of tobacco's that I rotate through. I kept them in the original baggies that I received them in (except for the tinned tobacco's, they are still tinned). For a gift my wife bought me a nice wood and leather box to store the tobacco and my pipe. The box had a strong scent of dye or stain, so I polyurethaned the inside and let it cure for several weeks. After this, the scent inside the box was nearly gone, so I thought it was safe to store everything in there...
After a couple weeks I noticed that the outside of the baggies seem to have a plastic/polyurethane scent. And, I'm not completely sure, but it seems to me that the tobacco may now have a slight plastic taste.
My question is, has anyone else ever had tobacco absorb scents,etc, from its surroundings, through zip lock baggies?
