GH&Co. 500g Bags

[n_irwin]

I’m curious to know how long the tobacco in GH&Co.’s 500g bags will keep if you leave it in the bag. Am I ok to cellar it that way, or do I need to jar it before putting it in the cellar? And to be clear, I’m talking about the green plastic bags like the one pictured below. Thanks for your input.

The new Gawith and Hoggarth bags are really good, oxygen-barrier packaging. Barring pinholes or other unforeseen handling-induced bag integrity problems, they should stay sealed and keep the contents intact ad infinitum.

Ehhh…I’d get some 1gal mylar bags and double your protection for double your pleasure later on.

I would like the idea of cellaring as is for ocd display purposes. I did that in the beginning with my esoterica bags. However, I read too many pinhole stories and ended up sealing the bags in food saver bags. I’ll eventually get around to getting mylar. Those GH bags do seem like it would last unopened barring any tiny pinholes from transporting.

I haven’t had any problems with those GH bags. Maybe I should read more about pinholes and post it here instead of speaking from experience.

I wouldn't worry about them unless you want to.

Sounds like a good way to jinx yourself.

Glad you like the bags BUT just for clarification, we do not produce packaging for 'cellaring' so if you decide to store and age tobacco please use your own containers.

Pretty sure that you won’t get a better answer than that. ?

That should go without saying, unfortunately it does need to be said.
But, I have many bags of GH blends that have been sitting for >2 years that are in perfect condition.
Hell, I’ve got paper bags of ropes with nail in them that have been sitting for many years that are in perfect condition.
However, Rachel’s point stands.
