Samuel Gawith Tins and LJ Peretti paint cans?

[Groot5225]

To the OP: well, I went to look for some old tins to show. These first 4 pics all have tins older than 20 years. As you can see, all look like new, storing them in boxes like I explained elsewhere.









Some of the following tins may not be as old, but they are all from before 2010. I tried to pick different types of packaging to show how they all fare.









Finally, here are the Peretti cans, over 20 years old. They are of Somerset Slices, and the bottom one is a pic of it as I am smoking today (sorry, there's only a little left).





As you can see, no problem storing old tins. Good luck.

Thanks for your post. I enjoy seeing those really old tins and tobacco.

My unopened stuff is in the package it came in... with the exception of Captain Black Grape, because that shit was ghosting my closet from inside the cellophane-wrapped pouch. It's now sealed in a Foodsaver bag.

I don't have any tobacco in paint cans, but I have plenty of paint, stains, dyes, finishes, etc. in cans, and some of that is now ancient. I'd put them on par with a jar.

Okay two days after the Mylar contact corrosion thread here is another one on the same boring topic. Either someone is really interested discrediting SG or it’s campaign for Mylar bag industry.

By the way what do you think of this one?

I've been smoking out of a one pound can of Peretti Tashkent for 5 years now and it's still fine. The tobacco is in a plastic bag inside the can. I just twist the plastic and push it down. It's arid here in Denver, so no rust whatsoever on the can.

Has anybody had any trouble storing SG tins in Mylar bags? Any rusting?

I am worried that in 5 years or so, they would rust and ruin the tobacco.


Also, LJ Peretti paint cans, do you guys jar them, or is the tin suitable for long-term storage?

Thanks!

I have had Oriental #40 in paint cans without a problem. Periodically, I transfer a couple of ounces to a Mason jar for ease of access. The re-sealed paint can continues to preserve the tobacco pretty well.

I have also wondered shoud I store these kinds of cans in airtight plastic container with 55% boveda inside the container. In winter the RH inside the house is aprox 10-15%. In summer RH is 40-60%.
I can`t put everything in jars since they take more space.

If rust starts from the inside and expands to the outside, there is nothing you can do. Just repackage it.
