I leave mine in the container it comes in if I plan to use it in the somewhat near future, but I use electrical tape to seal it up so air won’t get to it, it’s easy to remove and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, for longer storage I put them according to type or flavor in  sealed vacuum bags and store in zip lock mylar bags in a cool dark place. Hope this helps.

Mason jars are the way to go, I have found

1. Just my experience:

I was storing some Gawith in Mason jar’s and  some opened tins in zip lock Mylar bags. It’s been about a year.  I found the ones I kept in the bags to not loose flavoring. The Black Arabica i stored in a jar mostly smells like silky dark with a hint of coffee. Elmo’s reserve and Madagascan same thing.  No where near where it used to be. Don’t really understand how that happened.  As for the unflavored stuff they still are great.
From now on I’m keeping all Gawith in tins in Mylar bags

The electric tape idea is a great tip. Thank you

I vacuum seal every one, has worked very good for me

I use Mason jars with screw type lids for my pipe tobacco. Might try jarring my snuffs of a similar flavor together, in the original tins.
