Thanks for everyone's help .

GLP tins are not vacuum sealed. But, keeping the inner can un-popped, you can leave tobacco in there.

I have no way of telling if I like it as much.........but I do love it!

And the beach here is currently minus 1 and wet and windy. So I won't be trying it there for a while

Key Largo is one of my newer favorites from GLP. I love the cigar note as it's not too heavy and just on the backend of things. Really unique smoke. I've got 3 8oz tins cellaring.

All of my 10-15 year old GL Pease tins are in great shape.

The only negative I could possibly think of with Greg's tins is that as some of them age, they puff up like baseballs sized pufferfish, and they don't stay stacked well. I'm not sure at all why his do this, but other brands don't. But, I have yet to hear anyone say that they've broken a seal.
I have opened my cellar to have several roll out into the floor. YMMV

I believe that has more to do with how the blends are tinned as C&D. Mike McNeil tells us that McClelland tins (which are basically the same) are filled and sealed in a lower oxygen environment. They do seem to age more slowly than most other blends to this non scientist. Could simply be that C&D tins have more oxygen in there which causes a more "violent" reaction. Most of my C&D tins are while, it unusual in my experience to find any puffiness in my McClelland tins. I doubt they are any thicker.

That makes more sense that what I was thinking... but then again, I like to blame most things on magic and evil dwarves.

As the evil dwarves age, they get fat and fill up the tin.

I'm new at this but as long as you don't crack the seal you can leave them as is. If you do break the vacuum seal it would be good to put it in some airtight container. But maybe the more experienced members have some tips.

That's what I've been doing. Seems to work fine.
