How many of you find to be the tens or the cans with the plastic lids commonly used to sell tobacco are a pain in the arse? I have a can of some Cornell and Diehl Billy Budd blond that's about the size of a Big Tuna can and it seems every time I open it the tobacco is a little bit drier than the last time. I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but how many of you transfer to a small mason jar for storage after opening a 10 or a can of tobacco?

My tins that you described are always very well sealed until I pull the metal top. The plastic top is only to keep it from falling out while you find a jar.

Tin or can, once opened at the most it might stay in it for a week but nine times out of ten, I pop it right into an eight ounce mason jar. Perfect size to hold a tin or can of tobacco and keep a good seal.  |

When in doubt, jar it up!

If I plan to smoke the entire tin right away, I bag the tin in a 4 ounce baggie. It seems to help preserve freshness.

Yep, but not a thin walled baggie. If that's all there is at the moment, I go double, as well as rolling it up gently.

I keep it in the tin and "burp" it each time I close it ... works even here in the desert.
However, I also like my tobacco on the dry side so YMMV.

The foil lid goes on top of the tobacco after opening and yes you have to burp the lid. I have a 8oz tin of Piccadilly that has been open for six months with no issues.
