how long can a tin of pipe tobacco stay fresh if its been opened but has the lid back on it with a water pillow inside? any guesses/thoughts?


i just found one with that exact situation thats gotta be at least 6-8 months old. ... the pillow is still wet and there are no signs of mold. so i guess that my be a good sign. the tobacco also feels like its got a bit of moisture left.


... keeping my fingers crossed. this could be my afternoon smoke tomorrow.
 
It usually will keep pretty well. I've got a 6 month old tin that is still too moist to smoke. YMMV.

If I know its going to be a while before I smoke the entire tin, I put it in a mason jar, the ones with the two part lid. You don't have to do anything special to them. Just run them throug the dishwasher, get them out still hot, put the tobacco in, and put the lid on. Be sure you lable what is in the jar.
