Tins and heat

[BriarsAndBottles]

We are having an unusually warm October here in Northern California. And inevitably I somehow find myself on vacation and out of the house on the hottest days of the year. My garage is attached and I left the door open so it shares air with my house, which I have set to 77. I’m worried though it might get 5-10 degrees more than that in the garage.

Will my precious babies, also known as my tobacco tins, be alright?

I personally wouldn’t be concerned
At that temperature unless there is some rapid drastic temperature drop. Ive had unopened tins in a hot vehicle in the Gulf Coast for a couple weeks and they were fine.

Cooler would be preferable (if you’re talking long term) but it shouldn’t be a problem. Short term definitely nothing to worry about.

people put it in such conditions because it does similar things as aging does. Wait they put it much hotter then that. Much hotter. At worse it might change the tobacco slightly but not in any way that would be called ruining it.
Though I'd be concerned about what the heat has done to your facial hair. It's even longer.

Unless it pops a tin, I'd not worry. And even then, just smoke it.

I love baked Virginias and VaPers. You might be in for a real treat OP.

Shouldn't be a problem. I kept many tins years ago in a closet in a house with no AC through summer heat waves for 5 years without any problem. Tobacco in the tins turned out to be fine when I sampled them.

Try not to think of the temperature extremes your tins were subjected to on the journey from the manufacturer to you...

Think of the temperature and pressure gradients it we through from the factory to your garage. It will be fine.
And as others said, smoke it anyway!

Don't really worry too much with higher temp. It's unusually cool this year in NC. October should be still hitting high 80s. It actually feels like autumn.
