This thread inspired me to fill the Tilshead Bulldog with La Brumeuse.

In the OP's defense, "barnyard" IS one of the tin note components....

Of a partial brick I scored 3 years ago, an ounce or two has lived in an open cardboard box under my desk. in a flaky ziplock bag.

I open it every month or two and fill a bowl. It always burns flawlessly, is a pleasure to smoke and is better than the last time.

Some day, I'll actually get to the brick @rmpeeps gave me a year ago.....

Hmm. It seems there are a lot of folks who think everything needs to be jarred immediately after opening, but I suspect people never did this over the decades past. Is it merely part of the hobby and not functional?

Either way I bought a tray of mason jars which cost me only about $10 USD. I expect it will at least make it easy to organize my flavors vs the little bags or tins.
 
I figure if the boutique blenders can stick a bunch of bales of Burley, Virginia, Latakia, Oriental, and Perique in a warehouse and forget about them for 15-20 years and then do a limited release with that very same tobacco over which everyone gushes, Tabac Manil will be just fine in its foil packaging. I'm not sure it gets any better, but it's as good as the day it showed up at my house.

I jar everything that I open. Nothing, including Tabac Manil stays in its original packaging once it has been opened.

jars are pretty traditional. If you look at antiques there are a good number of jars mostly clay. And probably not so air tight. It looks like this hobby involves the more things change the more they stay the same.
