It may be you will be able to smoke all remaining before the mold gets enough water to wreak havoc. There is a difference between an air tight tin and a vacuum sealed bag with all the air evacuated out. A sealed tin still has a small amount of air left in it. This allows the tobacco to age; the chemical reactions that take place in aging require some air to get going. A plastic bag with all the air removed will not have enough air left for the reactions to start. For bulk tobacco storage mason or Ball [brand] jars with good rubber seals work very well as they are air tight and keep the contents from drying out.
Tobacco bag stringers would thread the string
into both sides, enabling the smoker to pull on the ends to close the bags. Experienced stringers were remarkably
efficient. Remembered working only in her spare time and still stringing as
many as a thousand bags a day, for which she earned about fifty cents. For plastic travel humidors, cigar cases, tupperdors or Small Boveda Humidor Bags that hold up to 5 cigars. But are roll-your-own (RYO) and pipe tobacco products — and their customers — interchangeable?

All the old knife-lid tins were sealed at normal atmospheric pressure, not vacuum packed. Still today, quite a few producers continue with the “old school” method of atmospheric sealing. Vacuum sealing is the new fangled method that is done by producers who rely on assembly line techniques to speed production and reduce costs. Foodsaver type vacuum pumps are quite weak, but they do a very good job of evacuating a great deal of the air from the bags they use [which therefore prevents substantial aging from occuring].
In the spirit of true Hobbiton companionship, loading the churchwarden comes with simple ease as the mixture amiably fills the interior of the awaiting bowl. Striking the match, the magical properties of the blend’s true character soon reveal themselves. Categorizing this flair, a deep, dense, and highly complex Pipe Tobacco in Cans string of flavorful notes strike the principal chords of Bag End’s gentle melody. This lovely tune resounds consistently to the completion of the smoking session. Pulling from lush meadows of the Shire, the preeminent nose that springs from the pouch models a succulent aroma of citrusy sweet Virginian grass.
Fit up to 5 sticks inside this lightweight—yet heavy-duty—travel cigar humidor bag that’s preloaded with Boveda 69% RH. Slips easily into a jacket pocket, handbag or cigar case. The Plains Indians were a mobile culture, relying on horses that the Spanish brought with them to the Plains. Being highly aesthetic people, the Plains Indians decorated the bags that they made with designs sewn out of glass seed beads that they got in trade with Anglos who came through their territory. The bags were used to carry tobacco as well as pipes. Note that there is a “doorway” design in the dangles that probably represented something.
You can still taste it, but the rest of the smoke is so creamy-smooth that you wouldn’t want to drown it out. My tour didn’t stop at Bag End, but definitely took a different route after the visit. I will certainly be back to the Shire in the future. On the upper and rearmost perimeter of this moving triage of dense flavors the controlled woody, leathered smoky/charcoal annotated presence of Latakia provides the finishing relish.
High heat, extremely dry conditions and UV from sunlight are definite no-nos. Mechanically Bag End burns contentedly slow, cool, and evenly supporting the blender’s assertion of a prolonged relaxing experience; that it was. Every last ember sears complete leaving a thick gray ash of its memory. The texture of smoke is decidedly creamy and flowing, manifesting neither harshness nor discomfort on the palate. A generous column of lacy smoke rolls outward producing a room note rendered by a warm inviting aroma of soured earthen spice, dark wood, and some sweet barn-like hay notes. The duration of this essence is marked considerably, yet its presence lacks unyielding forcefulness making Bag End’s fragrance pleasantly tolerable.
I have some english blends that are 5 yrs old in pouches and they are fine. Not many high-grade, cellar-worthy tobaccos are sold in this form (in the USA, anyway) these days, but it’s an interesting question. There are a couple of different sorts of gaskets available, and I have noticed that some seem to possess more “rubber smell” than others. A couple of the jars I have have a silicone gasket which has little detectable aroma to it, though I don’t know where these would be available individually. I have a half dozen of these, that have held various blends for more than 6 years, without ill effect. Honestly, I think before putting this blend in the press a pinch of stoved Virginia like Sutliff 507 would have bumped up the flavor and complexity a notch.
