How are you all storing your pipe baccy? I have mine stored in the tins or baggies if they are samplers inside a small cooler with some 65% beads. Any problem with this setup? I do open the cooler once a week to get some fresh air in there.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
Pipe Baccy Storage

Pipe tobacco is best stored without added humidity. Keep the original, unopened tins in a cool, dry place. Once you open the tins - if you do not think you will finish within a few weeks, put the tobacco in a small ziplock and return to the tin. Most tins have a decent rubber seal in the lid and should be OK for a month or two.
A better bet is to put all loose or opened tin tobacco into glass jars with rubber seal lids (Mason jars, baby food jars, etc.) They come in all sizes and are cheap. These will keep the tobacco from drying out for a loooooong time. Make sure the jars are very clean before loading your tobacco though. I usually run through the dishwasher and then load them up while the glass is still fairly warm. This helps create a good seal.
I keep many of my unopened tins and glass jars inside a large Rubbermaid storage bin. Similiar in size to a Coleman cooler, but cheaper.

Thanks for the info. I was told but another Brother to put them in a cooler with beads but he is a dweeb so he prolly doesn't know any better. :smt003
I only have 3 tins but they have all been opened so I will look for some good sealing jars like you have mentioned...we might have some baby food jars at school.
Thanks!

I use those labels on mason Jars currently. I am looking for larger storage now for 8 ounces and up. The quart sized mason jar will work but I don't think I like the look. I'll have to check out world Market today. :thumbsup:
