G.L. Pease Tins

[Sgetz]

Hi,

I'm in the uk. I've bought several tins of key largo. They arrived and after paying a hefty customs charge they are mine! My question is are these tins good for aging ie are they airtight? I'm sure someone here knows ?

 

[eljimmy]

I'm new at this but as long as you don't crack the seal you can leave them as is. If you do break the vacuum seal it would be good to put it in some airtight container. But maybe the more experienced members have some tips.

Glass is safer than tins,more hygienic................Always that you area does not have high moisture levels,the tins will be fine..........

 

[judcole]

Keep them sealed, and they are fine for aging. When you do open one, then put it in glass if you do not smoke it all within 10 days or so.

I recently opened a 2 oz. tin of Montgomery from 2011 and, the tobacco is in fine condition. Similarly, the 8 oz. tins offer ample protection at similar passage of time. Have no fear.

Those C&D type tins are especially safe. Plus, we've had a few posters over the years that have sang the virtues of Greg's lids, as they are a little tight fitting, but will really help keep the tin sealed once you do pop the inner seal. But, I'd wait till I was ready to smoke it before popping it.
Key Largo is a blend especially closer to my heart. I love it in the sun and heat of summer, especially on the beach. Good choice, and I hope that you like it as much as I do.

Well that's just great. Now I won't be able to get the vision of you, one piece horizontal striped bathing suit and straw hat, smoking Key Largo with a Sarsaparilla, at the beach, out of my head. Lol.

A Speedo one-piece, and how did you know they were striped, ha ha.

What? This was just taken yesterday.

I'll tell you though... I don't get on the beach without a tin of Key Largo. I'm not saying that others should try it. It's just my goto for beach smokin'. And, C&D 5'Oclock Shadow for the mountains. I guess they just appeal to my olfactory settings per location.

I have no way of telling if I like it as much.........but I do love it!

And the beach here is currently minus 1 and wet and windy. So I won't be trying it there for a while

 

[kcghost]

Yeah, just store it in a temp controlled room and it will stay fresh for years and years.

was this before your beard?

Come on in, boys. That water's fine!

Going for a swim is one of life's great little pleasures.

I've never had Key Largo. I've been curious about it, but after not caring much for Robusto, I have moved it down my "to try" list a bit. For those who have had both, how do they compare?

Robusto and Key Largo are the exact same blend. But, pressing it really changes the blend. I hate Robusto, but I love Key Largo, so YMMV.

Their tins are fine, i've never had a problem with them & I've got some tins from 2008. Saying that though, you're safer jarring them if you intend to 'age' them.
