Square Tin Seal: Recent Experience
Functionally, perhaps. But they look aesthetically nicer than round tins. Form over function?- zercules

How have you guys handled insurance?
Most correct answer in this entire thread. I’m shocked when people behave otherwise. These rules are written up arbitrarily by people who think all tobacco equates to smoking 2 packs of cigs a day. Not very educated in the least. You don’t sound like you smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day...- zercules

Hopefully you can rehydrate the dried tins. Boveda packs are a good, easy option. If you’re like me and don’t jar until you’re ready to smoke it or put in your rotation, may I suggest the tupperdore route? Without humidification of course. All tins I have that aren’t pop-tops go into airtight...- zercules

Tongue Bite Despite Doing Everything Right
