Why Transfer From Round Tin to Mason Jar?

I presume you mean the rubber or silicone seal!
Nice practice, but I am not doing that, though the gasket will get washed.

No, the lid on a screw top. I even do the same with bale tops. I find that no matter how much I wash either lids or gasket, there is always a residual smell. The price is negligible for both, so I'm not too worried about it.

I may have misunderstood the original question. He said lid on jar, so I just assumed he meant a regular twist top jar.

But still I do the same thing for bale top jars. It's just what I've found to work best for me.

Some tins do better than others in keeping the tobacco moist; although living in a dry hot climate doesn't help. The ones that don't do well, I generally put in small mason jars for daily use and keep the remainder in large jars tucked away in a cupboard. The large jars do better than the small ones over the long term and tend to keep the tobacco moist until I run out.

I once worked for a company that made those tins for various uses. I keep my tobacco in mason jars. - IMHO

I've never had a problem with round tins holding a seal. I've opened some after 20 years with no degradation in the humidity.

I prefer to leave in the tin and jar up bulk or maybe to jar up 4 or 5 tins at a time for long term storage.

Side note, every since Dr Pepper’s wife died sometimes he comes in a can and sometimes a bottle. (Yes i have the sense of humor of a 10 yr old).
