Julius, I don't think You would not need to do so, these will keep well and smokable condition just as they come,I have some 5-year-old St Brunos in foiled containers and they still remaining fresh
Cabbies Mixture popped up in my email as available so I grabbed two tins.
Good to know, Paul. Thanks for chiming in... I'll think that over, but I have to do so with some of the Amphoras I recently bought, because I saw, that their pouches are definitely not sealed properly and maybe I'll proceed the same with the Germain. But maybe I'll simply put the whole pack of Germain in a jar. That should be enough.
As far as Amphoras go,there is no worries either, those are coming today in high-quality gold foiled pouches similarly to ST Bruno Ready Rubbed, based on my experience these will keep well two years at least, Though the Amphora Burley Blend comes in a bit drier condition in comparison to other Amphora offerings
I’d just inspect all the seams and look for pin holes. If you don’t handle them much they’ll be ok. On the other hand you can just throw the whole thing in a Mylar for peace of mine if you want.
I only get so much allowance from my wife, but here’s my humble haul after saving up plus Christmas money from my Dad (thanks Dad!!!)
Were it not for deeming (FDA), I’d have gone wider on blends. As it stands I’m cellaring deep on things I know I love. This haul brings me to “almost comfortable” on these blends in the picture.

The pipe was free thanks to a coupon posted by another member
Which is weird when you consider that tins are far more environmentally sound compared to plastic/mylar/etc. Everyone today is looking to green wash their products.... Or maybe not.
My latest TAD has resulted in 10 tins of Cringle and half a pound of Sutliff 515 RC-1. Heading into Boston on Saturday for a trip to Peretti's.
I've got half a pound of Surbrugs Bestmake from Wilke as well as one pound each of Sutliff match Elizabethan and Stokkebye Luxury Navy Flake from P&C shipped today.
facepalm
What is wrong with me?

This, but I was limited to two tins. Truth be told it is my first time with Cabbie's so two is enough for me to decide how much I like it.
Did a little post Christmas online shopping,
The past few months have seen a few arrivals of Esoterica blends. Some have ended up in my pile.
Just put in an order for a tin of C&D Oak Alley along with my first estate pipe, a Stanwell pipe of the year from 2003
