Tin or jar?

Jars are always gonna make you happy...some tins are better than others, those of us who have tins of McClelland tobacco, tend to keep them in the tins in case of resale, as they pull more $$ if they are still in the original tin. If you aren't planning on selling, then jars would be the way to go...they can age in a jar just as well as in a tin (assuming the tin is if quality and not paper with a liner of spray foil).

Have to agree with everything Paddy said. Best way to go.

It's a cost/benefit question IMHO. While I don't question jarring tinned tobacco as there's no way to go wrong, I simply doubt the utility or benefit and disagree with the practice in general.

I can honestly say that I wish I had jarred all of my tins 10 years ago when I put everything away. A few weeks ago when I decided to look at everything with the intent of selling it, all the jarred stuff was fine and the tinned stuff was dry. Depending on the type of tin, the dryness varied. The square tins and the round 2 ounce tins with plastic lids were pretty dry, the round tins with a rubber seal and screw on lid were okay.

Because I have a lot of free time on my hands, and I love to tinker, it was not a problem to re hydrate the dry stuff but it would certainly have been less time if I had jarred it all. I love learning!

Off to buy more jars! ...... because I bought more tobacco!

Hahaha... fish on!

I am jealous!  I failed to mention that all my tins had been previously open.  The only time they were exposed to lower RH was in the summer due to air conditioning.

My theory, Leave in Tin if it aint open, if I open a round tin screw on lid I leave it.
If I open a square tin I jar it. If I buy bulk in a zip lock bag I jar it.
If I buy a Esoterica blend in a bag I leave it....till opened, then jar it.
Easy, Peasey, Japanessey!
