Mason Jar Lids

[ember]

Just wandering I think I already know the answer just wanted to see what you guys had to say.

The mason jar lids they hold the smell from the tobacco even after they are washed . So do you guys throw the lid away and get a new lid each time ( they are pretty inexspensive ) or just put it on anyway .

Have you ever noticed the smell effect you tobacco if used again say from a previous Aro lid now covering a Virginia for example

I had a lid from FM Cellar that I threw out because there was such a strong oder on the lid and I was not a fan of FMC so I didn't intend on buying more that I could cover over that tobacco

If changing blends I would get new lids. Usually though, I just keep the same blends in my jars.

When changing blends in a jar I always put a new lid on. Lids are cheap and plentiful; I can a lot of jam and pickles so always have new ones on hand.

I change the lid if I need to jar a different blend, but I save the old ones in labeled baggies, lat, aro, VA...

Good idea

I don't bother and have jarred VA's in jars that had lat bombs in them - haven't noticed any taste contamination. YMMV of course.

Sometimes I keep the same lid for a different tobacco if it's in the same genre, otherwise, I don't want to risk it.

It really depends on whether you are jarring for long-term aging or just to keep a blend in while you smoke from it. If I am going for the long-term, I use new lids. But, for just keeping some in while I smoke it, it doesn't matter to me.

^That.
Also, you will occasionally get a faulty band, so keeping spare lids/bands on hand is always prudent.
