    Mason jars with a latch

    A lot of food come in these jars. I have to prise the lids to break the vacuum seal on these. So they obviously have NO problems maintaining a good seal. Rubber is perishable, so they need replacing

    Gawith sampler?

    If they are 25 years old and been stored in baggies, they may be completely dried out. I'd rehydrate and smoke them. I certainly will not be interested in buying 25 year old tobacco that has been stored in plastic bags
