hey all,
i've always been interested in pipes (literally since I was about 2), and have a decent collection of pipes and different tobaccos. my interest and actual smoking of the pipes is sporadic at best. i've recently become interested again (something about fall-like weather I guess), and went to check out my tobaccos in the basement the other night. some are all dried up (they are many years old), so I assume those are lost, but some are still moist (in cans, bags, jars). what is the best way to store these going forward? i see mason jars mentioned in a few threads. anything special you're doing to "can" them or just using those for airtight storage?
