Vacuum Seal on 100g Solani Tins

[Egg Shen]

I recently bought three 100g Solani tins. Two of the three when pressed upon with my finger will dimple, but then immediately pop back out. The third one does not give at all. Are the first two therefore under-pressurized? I do not wish to transfer them to jars or open them anytime soon, but I will do what I must. Please let me know if you think I need to jar the two dimplers.

IMO, Solani rectangular tins of that vintage are untrustworthy. I would jar or bag it immediately. They have pretty much given up vacuum sealing them with the current tins, other than the round ones.

Damn.

Those were never sealed. They are presentation tins and the tobacco is in cellophane wrappers just like Rattray's Exotic Orange.

I have a bunch of these. I just put the tin in Mylar.

This. No seal was lost because it never existed.

Oh I didn’t realize this, but I’m familiar with the packaging you refer to. I agree, this is a no-brainer. I’ll jar them up. Thanks, everyone.

I do wish K&K would just provide a 100 gram vacuum sealed tin. It's such an odd choice that they sell the larger amount in an unsealed presentation tin. It's counterintuitive.

This is the answer. Basically tobacco in a jewelry box. No seal

Now that I’ve broke these down into jars I especially appreciate everyone’s advice. All three were very dry, like semois dry…which is very very very dry considering that these are aromatics or semi-aromatic. Any drier I’d have to put a wet stone or mini-Broveda in the jar. I shan’t seek out this packaging format again. Future bummer adverted thanks to ya’ll. Much obliged.

You can only get Silver Flake in the 100 (in the UK anyway), & you wouldn't want to miss that. One of the best VaBurs out there!

I have a 100g tin of the silver. At least here in Pennsylvania this tin was different than the three 100g tins in my picture. It was taller, and did not have hinges (pull off top instead). The moisture level was on point - nice chewy tobacco strip extrusions. Yum.
