Anyone Seal Vacuum Tins With Tape

[OSOBUCO]

Just curious - does anyone seal with tape as in the pic below? I am not sure how airtight such taping would be. I received the tin below from a member here and it got me thinking.

Never bothered, just some esoterica tins I have came that way that's it and i am not sure i see the point, the only tins I've had issues with seals on are the rectangular SG tins some of those have given way after a few years, so that stuff just gets mylared or jarred up so i don't have to worry about it.

It's aluminum tape and I do as extra precaution. Once opened the tin if you don't want to transfer to jar I noticed they avoid decently well drying of the tobacco for at least a couple of years and I live in a pretty dry climate.

Tins only last me a day or two so no.

I do not. I trust tins about as far as I can shit. Most of my tobacco goes right into a parfait jar as soon as I can do so.

That being said, I guess this tape couldn't hurt. I don't think it would help much with a seal, but it can't hurt. However, it would serve as an obvious indicator that that tin has not been opened yet. That could be useful in its own right.

I do not. Doesn't hurt though.

Yes, and it works great.

Anyone who finds dry tobacco after taping a tin simply didn't do it right, is all:

I've seen some pictures of folks who do it. I could see the potential if you wanted some extra caution for tins that are going to sit for years/decades since the entire point of foil tape is that it maintains its integrity through cold/warm temperatures along with waterproofing properties.
