My jars are wet

[Samuel Perez]

Hey people! This had never happened before to me , I have been smoking pipes for 10 months and I checked today a jar and it was like wet inside, does someone know what this is? (The jars are in a very good space with good humidity and no sunlight, on a cardboard box)

Condensation due to temperature change. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Coreios]

Condensation, I leave the lid off for a while it's fine.

Similar to what stoving does...

Here's a pic of my recently stoved Luxury Twist Flake from almost two weeks ago.



Due to be smoked on Monday, looking forward to opening the tin.

You'd think this could promote mold growth but so far so good.

Don't worry too much about it. Unless you see weird stuff. Tobacco should soak it up. Must be warmer in there than outside.

It’s Aliiiive!!

 

[kcghost]

I've never experienced that phenomenon. I guess you're stuck listening to those that have.

 

[Puffaluffaguss]

It has to be humidification, what tobacco is in the jar? I've had this happen with molto dolce before but the tobacco was just sweating in the jar, (like that stuff isn't dripping already ). I could see it happening with moist flakes like SG/GH flakes. Easy fix

That type of jar isn’t air tight. A mason jar would be.

What blend is it?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Water is growing in there. Better be careful. It could be just filled with water if you let it keep growing.

You said you bought Mason jars, that's not a Mason jar (at least never seen one like that) - looks similar to the kind of latch we have on some jars we use for sugar cubes and stuff like that on the shelves, and they are fine for what we use them for, but you need canning jars, IMO, for the long term.

I have some of those same jars with the orange gasket. Mine did the same thing and I assumed it was the humidity from the tobacco. My mason jars have not done the same thing. So far the tobacco in the gasket jars is doing fine and it's been a little over a year.

That's what I do. Unless it's more humid outside the jar. Open it and maybe give it a stir if you are brave enough.

 

[reloader]

I don't think its anything to worry about. I've had those type jars and the same thing happened. I use jars like that for short term storage only.

I’ve had that happen in a similar jar, though it wasn’t water, it was more like a thin layer of a waxy substance, very odd and it only happened in those latch jars.

 

[geopiper]

Some of my older tobaco-filled mason jars are getting the same thin, whitish-translucent coating on the inside as yours. As long as the tobacco isn't growing mold I assume it's all part of the process. I was initially concerned, but now that some jars are 3+ years old and the tobacco isn't moldy, I'm not concerned.

I store my “now smoking” blends in those jars. (I open a tin; tin goes in a jar, which is what I smoke from.) I’ve had blends I’ve forgotten about in these latch jars that have lasted four years without any issues.

I also have mason jars (the one I bought) I just bought some of these too
