Storage of six Pounds of PS Luxury Navy Flake

[Briar Lee]

I just bought six pounds of PS Luxury Navy Flake, and it came in four 1 1/2 pound boxes, sealed in plastic.

I’d rather not store this in Mason jars unless it’s necessary. I like the idea of just leaving it in the factory box.

I can store in my home or office which will remain close to 70 degrees constant temperature but with fluctuating humidity, or in my attic in the garage or in an old milk barn, which will subject it to zero degree cold in winter and 100 degree heat in summer, again with varying humidity.

What should I do with it?

I’m open to suggestions, and any advice will be appreciated.

Mylar or jars is what is about to be suggested!

But that's allot of glass. How much of it do you plan on smoking in say a week?

I've not tried Mylar but for that volume I think I might.

That's usually how I buy that blend. I just open one to smoke. In a month or so it's gone and I open another. It'll keep fine, sealed, for months. At least that's my experience. Four boxes would last me near on six months as I smoke a couple of other blends at the same time.

What should I do with it?

I'd say, smoke and enjoy.

If I bought six pounds of anything, I'd be far more concerned with spousal retribution than storage methods.

But hey, that's just me every guy on here.

I just bought some a month ago and can't remember, I mylared it, but doesn't it come in a heavy duty this plastic bag? God it sucks getting old, well that and the Havana Club rum lol

I put my entire 24oz box in a Mylar bag. I’ll get to it in a decade or so

I live in Las Vegas. It’s all jarred. When I bought five pounds six years ago it was on killer sale.

I went to the store and bought 4 cases of pint mason jars.

They stack easy, especially using the cardboard base included for free.

I bought it specifically for aging. This year I’ve started cracking open jars.

Money well spent.

I've not bought five pounds of any blend, but I'd say Mylar was the best solution for that quantity. Otherwise, it's a world of jars.

I would put 3 of the boxes in mylar and divy the 4th box into jars sized in correlation to my smoking pace.

Mylar…………case closed.

 

[jpberg]

Leave it. It’ll be fine.

 

[Briar Lee]

Leave it. It’ll be fine.

If I leave it alone in a Mylar bag it will be double fine.

If I leave it alone in a Mylar bag it will be double fine.

Okay, so why ask, other than a “hey look at all the tobacco I bought” moment?

I did this with 6 pounds but if I could do it again I would have used Mylar bags. These are 5 quart jars and 1 pint jar.

Sorry about your luck. My wife wouldn't bat an eye. Pipe tobacco is much cheaper and intrusive than a mistress.

What bugs me is that there aren't any pictures!
