We all know that the square/rectangle pop top tins aren't the best at resealing. Well, I figured I'd pass along the technique I use when I want to stow a partial tin away in the cellar.
I simply take the lid, and give the lip on each flat side a gentle squeeze so that it bows in a bit. WHen you replace the lid on the tin it gives it a little extra holding power, and assuming the rubber gasket isn't damaged, it will keep the baccy from over drying for a little longer than normal.
If I don't intend to smoke the entire contents of any tin in a short time, I jar it. If I do plan to smoke it all soon, I keep it in a zip-lock.... This is only for very short term use.
Thanks for the tip Dave, i'll try it out. I have a bunch of those tins (SG) that I transfer the tobacco into a ziplock then put it back into the tin. If your way works it will be less of a hassle.
A tip from Greg Pease (the GL Pease dude). Take a piece of aluminum foil, fold over (so you have a double layer). Cut/rip to shape larger than tin opening. Place over open tin. Jam lid onto it. Works pretty good, I've had tins open for months without any dryouts. Works well for SG rectangular tins as well GLP's plastic top tins.
