I think that’d be fine if it’s getting smoked within a couple months.
Yup,even though in these new foiled pouches Mc Baren uses for Amphora&Bruno tobacco seems to stay pretty fresh for quite extended period of time ,in this regard these type of pouches are much better than those regular ones
looks like that would work for a long time. OTC pouches last months, In my climate.. and thats with leaving them out.
Looks like a good plan. My problem is that I never know when I will get around to smoking them, so they go into a very large jar with other pouches.
And if for some reason that doesn't work, just throw the whole jar up in the air and shoot it right in the face... it's 2020, so it's okay
Short term is probably okay. I'm not sure after that. I keep some on-hand plug and rope tobacco in small mason jar, each in their own little plastic pouches, which I force the air out of. Yet, every time I open that jar, I get a strong whiff of the tobaccos, which tells me it's permeating the plastic. Also, I've read that you actually want a little air in a mason jar when storing loose tobacco (as in don't jam it in to the rim), so that's another reason I would have reservations for storing that way long term. Not sure what you mean by medium term, but you're probably good for a few months with that system.
So far I still have a bunch of St. Bruno pouches from 2016 that I’ve not sealed at all and the tobacco is just as moist as they were fresh off the shelf, those pouches they use really hold up well. For long term storage I seal all my pouches in Mylar. What you have posted above will do fine for many many years but if you plan on doing long term storage I personally would switch over to Mylar.
Even the cheap Condor pouches do fine. I bought a 5 pack that was roughly dated as being early 90’s production. The Tobacco had dried slightly but still perfect smoking moisture and still very much heavily scented Condor (much heavier scented than current day production)
