Hello everyone. I've purchased about 14 blending tobacco's from P&C and have made several blends that are coming along nicely. However, though I keep my tins tinned and my blends jarred, I am currently keeping the blending tobaccos in their bags and I'm concerned with long term storage. I don't want to use more jars for each tobacco component, so what kind of container can I use to just store the bags in? What do you all use?

I think your best bet is to go ahead and jar them up. I treat mine just like any other bulk blend. I jar them up.
Unfortunately I have limited space
what about an airtight Tupperware container?
I only trust jars. But that's just me. Somebody else might be able to offer an opinion on Tupperware etc., but I'm not certain those are truly going to have an airtight seal. I understand limited space. Every time I buy new jars to fill with tobacco, I find myself having to rearrange space and throw stuff out.... at this rate, at some point my only belongings in my home will be tins and jars of tobaccoUnfortunately I have limited space
Mylar bags take less space but like Anthony, I only use jars.
For most blends, I use jars. For blending tobacco and miscellaneous blends I only keep a few ounces of, I keep them in their bags and put them all in an airtight container like this. You can get them at Marshalls pretty cheap.
If you're short of space, I have ample... just send it to me and I'll ahhh "store" it for you
There we go, I can get one large one of these and put them all in there, I have space for that. Once we do some spring cleaning I'll have more room for a tobacco shrine
Fourteen blending tobaccos is a lot. In that case, I'd put the baggies in a larger airtight container. The ones you use the most you might want to jar, for convenience. I have to tinker so much to adjust the proportions, I can't deal with more than a few blending tobaccos, but your wide selection might be inspiring.
That's exactly what I've done; all baggies in one of those airtight containers hauntedmyst shared, just ordered one. Thank you mso, but I honestly am only working with about half of them. All from P&C, I have:
4oz TS24 Turkish ribbon
4oz AAA Burley
4oz Green River black Cavendish
4oz DKF Burley
2oz sutliff red va ribbon
2oz sutliff VA slice
2oz TS6 white Burley
2oz sutliff matured red va 515RC
1oz perique
1oz sutliff stoves black va 507S
1oz smyrna
1oz Latakia
1oz white cube burley
2oz yellow va
Only made a couple blends lately, they are still pressing. Preliminary tasting was so-so. Hopefully pressing marries the flavors more
I keep my cigars in airtight plastic bins. They have a rubber seal and are considered true plastic humidors, with no leakage.
I too have a collection of blending tobaccos, which are in mason jars. I’ve got some McClelland 2010 Virginia that I’d bet is mighty fine by now. Those jars have been untouched for at least five years ?
