Thread: Good Pipe Tobacco Storage questions

I've tried all methods in the past (from the ziplock baggies, to lock jars (the ones with the hinged top and the locking mechanism)) but the one that works best (and confirmed by P&T magazine) is mason jars. Get a jar just large enough to fill completely (I use the wide mouth jam sized jars). If you want to go even a step further, and have a food saver, you can get an attachement that sucks all the air out. Although not necessary, you've essentially "tinned" your tobacco at that point and can last upwards of 50 years.

As you've noted, store in a cool, dry, and dark place, and you'll be good to go.

One last tip if you do go the mason jar route - make sure to label and date your tobacco - makes for a less intriguing game of "guess that blend" but you'll be much more satisfied in the end!
