To Jar or Not to Jar

[Hunter1]

I have been useing mason jars to store my tin tobacco after opening them. Ijust bought a 16 oz bag of tobacco in bulk . Should i put it in a mason jar or wait till I open the bag. I'm waiting to use up my tin of Barbados Plantation before I open the bag of Queen ann's revenge. Should I mason jar it now or wait? Thank you.

jar it now in smaller jars.

You have zero to lose jarring tobacco.

Almost certainly, jar it now, unless it's a mylar bag.

Some of the non-Mylar I’ll leave in the bag if it’s a small amount. Depending on the source, it just gets a little drier as time goes by as I’ve discovered by being lazy and not jarring it. Just a matter of paying attention. Not recommended, but some 2 oz. samples it’s just as easy to leave them in it and the bags fit nicely in a pipe roll to have handy in the Jeep.

I jar immediately.

I jar all of the bagged stuff right away. I'm sure it will keep a while unopened, but there's really no point in delaying getting it in jars.

Thanks all, I'll jar it right now. It came in a mylar bag, but I'll jar it. Tobacco smells so good.

Another vote here for jar it now. I fit 16oz of tobacco in 8 half pint mason jars.

Where did you find Sutliff bulk in a mylar bag? I've only ever gotten it in plastic.

Sorry.I ment plastic. I put 3/4 of the bag in a 16 oz mason jar. The rest in a 8oz jar. Will that be ok. Thank you.

The important thing is that it is jarred, so yes, that will be fine.

A pound is just like a month's worth, unless you dilly dally around. I don't always jar up a pound... unless I am just setting it back to age. Otherwise, you want it to dry out anyways, and if you are going to burn through it in a month... just smoke it. Unless you are one of those once every now and then smokers.

 

[Hunter1]

It will become my daily smoker. But I'll also smoke my English blends.

If in doubt, jar it. Even if not in doubt, jar it. It's only one definite advice I agree with the rest of forum.
