Storing pipe tobacco?

LiquidChaos66

How do you keep it? I have some in a glass tobacco jar with a humi pack and some just in a ziplock bag. Advice? Your setups?

So I got some tobacco along with the pipes. It was left I the humi that came with the stand. It's about 30 years old. Can it be revived and smoked?

There is some tobacco dust at the bottom of the bag its in right now. but the stuff on top still holds up when rubbed between my fingers. Still feels like its a little sticky like the fresher stuff ive gotten recently. I may have to try reviving it!

When I was in college, the only tobacco I could afford was Prince Albert, which I smoked every day at 4pm, once a day. I bought in in the large red plastic humidor which I see is still available at some places. I'm still using those. I also like the mason jar, and if you can find those jars like Pilgrimtex has, those are really great.

So I'm assuming something along the lines of a glass jar with a sealing lid would be a good option? Standard mason jars with that little rubber gasket thing? I might have a few of those at home I do like those ones Tex has! Ill have to hunt some down. Maybe check Fred Meyer or Target this weekend.

Those work. Keys: non-porous jar (glass), air tight seal. Assuming the tobacco is the proper humidity when it goes in, you shouldn't need the humidification packs or anything. Rehydrating tobacco (should it be necessary) is pretty easy to do and there are several ways to do it. PM me and I can send you links to a few shown on YouTube. Let us know how that tobacco turns out.

Can you store several types of tobacco in one container? As in, using a large tupperware container with 8 blends inside it in bags opened up? I'm just curious, as most of my tobacco is all in bags and one large container would suffice. I don't have enough of anything to warrant a jar, but I could put all the little baggies in one thing and leave them open with a humi pillow in there to get everything hydrated at first.

Sealed freezer type bags. I keep bags received from my supplier that don't fit in my jars in one or more large tw containers. No problem but keep sealed otherwise the stronger aromas will infiltrate the others.
