Hello everybody. I recently got my hands on some Peter Heinrichs tobacco. I was wanting to know your guys experiences with Peter Heinrichs 100g tins and how well they stay sealed? Are they suitable for long term storage? Thank you.

I acquired several of the PH 200 g. tubs from an estate a few years ago. They were a few years old at the time (I think 4-5, IIRC). Moisture was perfect.

One of them I held on to for a few more years and finally popped last year. Moisture also perfect.

So my experience with I think three of them was that they were good at four or five years, and with another that it was good at maybe seven years.
Whether that's a sufficient sample size, you decide.

(But bear in mind that the majority of round tins are good for many many years, too, and yet every once in awhile we hear of a tragedy. So, there are no guarantees.)

Great. I heard the L.J Perreti cans don't store well so wasn't sure about these but now I'm a bit more confident. Thanks everybody.

@woodsroad do you teach courses on how to derail threads, and if so, how much do they cost?

And as an aside, would you take seal blubber in lieu of payment?
I do and it's on a curve based on your income and gullibility mainly the second one.
And that aside is the rudest thing I have seen online in years. That's like asking will you say yes or are you about as stupid as a bag of hammers that the other hammers don't talk to because they're just that stupid.
This reminds me of the signs on the trash compactors "wipe seal after dumping" which just says so much about our society that people can take a dump on a seal and have to be told to wipe. Monsters are real and they live among us.

Sir there are things that simply can not be “learned”. They must be absorbed by experiential immersion. It’s a four year internship. I’ll have my Director of Irreverence and Incontinence reach out to you.

In the meantime;

A penguin has some car trouble...​

A vacationing penguin is driving his car through Arizona when he notices that the oil pressure light is on. He gets out to look and sees oil dripping out of the motor. He drives to the nearest town and stops at the first gas station.
After dropping the car off, the penguin goes for a walk around town. He sees an ice-cream shop and, being a penguin in Arizona, decides that something cold would really hit the spot. He gets a big dish of ice cream and sits down to eat. Having no hands he makes a real mess trying to eat with his flippers. After finishing his ice cream, he goes back to the gas station and asks the mechanic if he's found the problem. The mechanic looks up and says "It looks like you blew a seal."
"No no," the penguin replies, "it's just ice cream."

You lost me at "incontinence." Not that my attention drifted elsewhere...I simply had to get to the john tout de suite. ;)

Any thoughts about the Peter paint can opening it and sealing it back into the paint can?

Dunno, I've never aged it for very long. I did just discover that two of my 8-ounce cans, Spillman and Marble Kake, had developed black spots on the bottom of the can. They were tiny rust holes, as you could see daylight through them after emptying the tin. These were both at least five years old, and probably much more. The Kake was aged beautifully, and was even dried to a proper level. The Spillman also seems OK. I of course jarred the contents. These had been stored high and dry in separate boxes in a closet, and I was rather surprised.

Wow he must be pretty important if you call him "The" John and not just John or Johnny. I guess he needs his sweet toots though.
Also that sounds like you're attention drifting else where, which just shows how good some people are at showing off their derailment skills.
