This is why for my go-to blends I use bail lids. I think it keeps it fresh. My tobacco may be a little dry, but its all way over a year old, mostly. The moisture levels are actually right where I like them. Overly moist tobaccos burn hotter than ones which are properly dried and stored.

You just need to hook up with Ilyana Kracknutova... problem solved.  No doubt, she even has muscles in her poop |

5 years ago I got bit by fire ants that caused my immune system to attack the nerves in my arms and legs and killed 95% of them. The nerves tell the muscles what to do, so I lost about 70% of my muscles in those areas. I went from physically being a 58 year old to a 90+ year old in 6 months. I cannot pull apart a zip lock bag, open a bottle of water or tobacco tin. Get one of the plastic V shaped opener devices, as the v section is on the bottom side and fits small to large caps, the handle will give you leverage. As Betty Davis said, " getting old is not for sissies "  Yeah, that's the one that I have |

The wall mounted one uses the same principle as this one. Makes it easy to use two hands. |

  Son gave me this, works like a champ. Goggle it, I think they call it the Robo. I've heard great things about this, but Charlie's alternative would work too. 😳 |

I have some of these too. But, if you're looking at long term storage (5+), I personally do not trust them. That's from personal experience. Your mileage may vary. |

That's the ticket! This one obviously mounts under a cabinet. The one my family had was wall mounted, but this looks like a more elegant solution, if opening jars is ever elegant!  |

I've got one of the metal jar grabbers, but have used these rubber pads for years. They're cheap and pretty effective most of the time for me. Click on this link |

Wow. That's a cool gadget. I like the mounting feature. No losing this opener in a kitchen drawer. |
