When did tins suddenly become an unreliable method of storing/cellaring tobacco? I've read a few isolated instances about problems but it seems like by and large, tins will survive well past 10 years.

I guess I'm very fortunate to have a heated/air conditioned man cave. If I didn't, I would purchase one of those miniature barns from Lowes, park it in the back yard and run power to it.

This is a subject I know nearly nothing about, However I will pipe in (maybe small pun intended)that back in the day when I used to smoke roll ups I have had more than one square tin failure on bulk tobacco I brought and ever since then have been cautious about storing or for that matter buying them.

I like the jarring of the whole pouch. For some reason I have always emptied the pouch into a jar.
