Canning Day

[woodsroad]

Working on jarring up the backlog of bulk and opened tins today. Kudos to Walmart for free next day shipping from the store on 1/4 pint jars, at the lowest price anywhere I could find.

Now the quandry: do I jar that second pound of 1792, or seal the boxes up in Mylar and sell it back to you chumps in ten years at an exorbitant markup?

I did the exact same thing last weekend. I also found some stuff I forgot I had ordered. Surprise!

That’s how I ended up with so much 1792. And several other things. I “found” a pound of Stokkebye #80 Norwegian, a pound of Quiet Nights and an unlabled pound bag of mystery English blend.

We'll be here waiting on them, for sure!!!

 

[woodsroad]

I swear, I’m not buying any more!

I think that in ten years, the private sale of tobacco products will be banned.

(My iPhone just confirmed it. “tobacco products will be banned” all came up as suggested next words when I typed this.)

I agree with you but @sablebrush52 really disagrees with us and he's smarter than both of us together.

And nicer, too.

I don’t think there will be an out and out prohibition. Why grasp defeat in the face of victory?
However, online sales of tobacco could very well be banned.

Love the old school label maker!

I started to jar up some 250 and 500g boxes and decided the it's easier to mylar and heat seal them and just toss them in big plastic totes than jarring them all up and then storing the jars, not to mention paying for all the jars.

My experience with Cellaring in Mylar bags has been good so far, provided they arr high quality, thick bags. I store my unimaginably massive quantities of Esoterica bags in Mylar. But I prefer to have cellared blends in small jars. That way, I only open a tin’s worth at a time, keeping the rest sealed and decaying anaerobically. The zip seals on Mylar backs are the weak link, especially once tobacco bits get in them.

And that lable maker isn’t very old. It’s a Brother P-Touch. I think they still sell them.

Aye me matey, sure be that the mylar should be heat sealed. The only tins I've actually mylared are some of the SG tins that of late haven't been great, but then they never were and yes yes not made to be stored made to be smoked, etc, and so forth. i was only thinking the large boxes.

Also nice esoteric flex

Time hates everything, but tape and label adhesives must have insulted its mother or something.

Just sayin'...

 

[snagstangl]

Have you figured out how keep the label maker from spiting out an extra inch of tape each time you print? If so please let me know.

10 years? From what I see all you need is 10 months and you can go Scrooge McDuck in your vintage tobacco ROI.

Digging around the treasure trove of tobaccos at home is like shopping. You find things you don't remember ever buying. You realize you won't need to shop for blends for the next three years ... or ever. Jar it up real nice, and you'll reap the rewards in the next decade.

I vote for selling it to the chumps!

I left last one year, make that two, in their respective boxes.
