Title edited for caps. Rule 9.

Pretty sure you mean Mylar. Can get from Amazon. - jpmcw.

I’m usually throwing baccy from a jar into a plastic bag. And as usual I end up with too many plastic bags and the baccy dries out.
Id like to source some of those silver bags with a good zip lock to preserve a little freshness. A lot of emailers use them.
Many thanks,
-Bill

Bill, It sounds like you are talking about mylar bags. But I'm confused by the "emailers use them" part.

The mylar isn't going to help prevent drying so long as you're relying on a ziplock seal. You need something with a better seal, like a screw top jar.

Mylar bags are sold on Amazon, e.g. Pleasant Grove Farm - https://www.amazon.com/stores/PleasantGroveFarm/PleasantGroveFarm/page/BE44E094-7BC4-469C-BC23-FE0E0F0DE2F0.
