kwilliams, yeah I ordered some of those too as a result of woodsroad's recommendation. Sure wish I had thought of that earlier. It does make for more difficult storage space-wise, depending on what you have available, but small price to pay for keeping your baccy from drying out as quickly
Last summer, I sold several bags of circa 2000 Esoterica through pipestud. They all felt soft and pliable when I checked them.Pipestud never relayed any complaints to me, so I assume they were good. I know his check was.
Kelvin, good to hear from ya'!
Those tin-sized bags are working out well for me, I hope they do the trick for you, too. I had put an open tin of John Cotton's No.1 in one of those bags about a year ago. Tried some yesterday and it was perfect: Same ready-to-smoke moisture level that it was at when I bagged it, despite being in my office all winter at RH in the teens. Not dried out one iota.
It's a much more robust bag that the silvered ESD bags that we've been using in the Box Pass.
Here's the eBay link

"What is the Oldest Tobacco Tried from a Mylar Bag?"
It's a little known fact that the mylar bag was actually an invention of the ancient Mayan civilization, and was originally called the Mayanlar bag. Over the ages this was shortened to the generic mylar, as too many people could not correctly pronounce nor spell Myanlar, I mean Mayanlar (see?).
The oldest tobacco to be found in one of these bags was discovered in Belize in 1901 by famed British archeologist Sir Sandy Sifter. In 1952 during an interview on the BBC Sir Sifter commented on trying that tobacco in his Dunhill custom field pipe. "It was in jolly good condition given its age, and to my trained palate tasted rather like Mixture 79. Small wonder the Mayans are extinct, eh what?"

I'm pretty sure he was also awarded an OBE for services in the study of ancient packaging methods. Well deserved in my book :
