Whats the way to store tobacco

[zonomo]

I searched the forums but didnt find what i was looking for. I currently only have 3 small baggies of tobacco. I have no pouches or tins or anything to store. Should I keep it in the refrigerator? What's the benefit of the pouches that i've seen in the shops?

I would recommend investing in some canning jars (mason or ball etc.) You can get a case of them at walmart for around $10

+1 on the Mason jars... and as rothnh stated, store them in a cool dark place.

The jars work great for anything you plan on having open for more than a month or so.

Mason jars are great -- I use them all the time. But Zonomo here has *3 small baggies* of tobacco, so for him, right now, mason jars to store his small supply of tobacco is akin to killing an ant with a sledgehammer

True... but he could always go to the .99 cent store and buy just one mason jar and store all three baggies in it.
and btw... killing an ant with a sledgehammer still results in a dead ant... just with more flair :rofl:

I got some jars from Target that you would put flour and sugar in. My tobacco seems to keep very well in there. I have plenty of mason jars from canning pickles.. Never even thought about it using them for some reason.
Thanks for the tip guys!

Make sure the pickle smell is completely gone, and then make sure again!

We need a sticky on this in the tobacco forum!

If you happen to buy deli style lunch meat, like Hillshire Farms, it comes in a reusable Tupperware type container. The size is perfect for a few baggies of tobacco. And they are essentially free if you already buy the meat! I reuse them for all kinds of things.

Re: the pickle jars
Actually, I have extra mason jars never used for anything. I would use those and not the ones I used for pickles. I don't think pickle flavored tobacco would be pleasant (even though I love pickles).
