Those little rectangular and square tins are always slowly leaking. I've got four plastic bins stacked in my bedroom closet with snap on lids. That seems to do the trick. The round tins don't seem to leak as far as I can tell. When I open up a box of McClelland tins or other various cannister type tins, there's no scent from the contents. A lot of tins, and all of my Esoterica bags, I've bagged in Mylar which I then heat sealed.
Jesse Jesse Jesse, how many times are we going to do this. I have never had a square tin fail ever in over 20 years. The only thing I do is keep my house at 73-74 and low humidity.
You live in California. Not smoking in the hospitals anymore came from your state, Every non smoking idea came from your state. Maybe leaking tins is the pipe gods screwing with you.

We should also bring back the Marlboro Man and Joe Camel. Icons in the industry. Think about how much tax revenue we will get selling 13 year old buyers.

Anyplace tobacco smoke can get to, it will. It coats everything.
Knowing this in the house I said F-it, and smoked whatever I liked, whenever I liked it. Frankly I was disappointed that the cigars didn't make the house reek. I felt that it would have been a mark of distinction for an old man.

Never an issue with this. However, just today, I transferred 2 oz. of Vauen Auenland Evening Mixture from a ball jar to a mylar bag, in preparation for selling. This tobacco has a reputation for being the Casper of pipe tobacco. I had a hell of a time getting the lid of the ball jar to not reek of pineapple casing! I even muttered to myself: "I've heard of pipe ghosting, but jar ghosting? Give me a break!" After about three scrubs with hot water, I managed to reduce the odor to a manageable level. So I dried it all off, and put some CAO Cherrybomb in the jar, which is the only thing I can conceive of to challenge the previous odor.

I shudder to think what would have happened if this odor had infected any other surface. Like the smelly car episode of Seinfeld. It's an entity! :eek:
