I miss you MCP. Your last video was a year ago! Please let us know how you are!

Drop dead easy to replace moisture in any type of tobacco that has dried out. Simply take one of those Ball Jars, tape or glue a small piece of spunge to the top, put a couple/three drops of distilled water on the piece of sponge, put tobacco in the jar, place the top/lid back onto the jar, check in a day or two and see that the moisture has been replace and the tobacco is as good as it was before it dried out. Check it out! Thanks for your videos! Hope this helps!

I'm soaking in all the information, mutton chop. You're one of the best and one of the first pipe mentors for me haha. Great. Yep. Need a jar.... To store tobacco. If opened tin/jar. I only smoke once or twice a week, depends. Not addicted to nicotine. Just to relax. That also lets me age tobacco somewhat :) happy smoking man.

I just found you and I’m already feeling more confident about storing my tobacco. Look forward to looking at your other videos. Thx!

Thank you for these videos Muttnchop. I'm excited about aging and cellaring my favorite blend. Glad I found this early on in my hobby. Ordering Ball jars now.

Dude you're the best... I appreciate the information on all your videos!!

Thank you for all your wonderful lessons, and sharing your wisdom and passion with us. Definitely soaking it all in, as a new pipe smoker here.

Im quickly learning you are a Pipe Legend Thank You for all your Videos.

I LOVE your videos! I love you!!! Keep it up. You're so calm and peaceful.

hello from Canada. ken here. i finally found someone online that knows pipe tobacco! having just bought two bags of tobacco , and was concerned on how to properly store it...canning jars! which i will buy today...thanks a bunch for sharing your wisdom

Thanks for your advice my friend. I am watching you from Greece and I like your videos. Keep going! ✌️🔝

Thank you very much for all of the great info. I am a newbie to smoking a pipe. I was far too young for my grandfather to properly introduce me to not only the “ how to pack a pipe, etc” but also the the finer aspects of what it means to be a gentleman. I have watched all of your postings and enjoy them immensely. Im enjoying a bowl of Gawith’s Hansom Flake this evening due to your fine health instructions. Happy piping! Avigdor

Recently restarted smoking a pipe. Still learning, so I appreciate finding helpful videos like this!! Thank you!

This was very informative. Thank you. Questions answered!

Hi, I’m just about ready to start ordering my first pipe. I use snuff daily and smoke a cigar a day somedays 2. Ik put nitto electric tape around the edge of my tins of snuff and do this pretty tight by pulling and stretching the tape as it goes on. You can do this multiple times with the same piece of tape. Awesome videos and thank you for them, they help me get started! 🤎

Great channel I have only been smoking a pipe for a year now gave up cigs after 30 years . It has been difficult learning though it is channels like these that really help me enjoy it more, thanks and look forward to more informative vids.

Thanks so much for all your vlogs. As a new pipe smoker I’m finding your content extremely beneficial , you have helped me to understand things so that my smoking experience has becoming much improved . I’m loving this new hobby 😀👍🏼

Your videos are my go to pipe content, really appreciate it. - Alex, England.

Mac Barens blend are great when first opened but dries out fast and requires moisture buttons to keep it reasonably "fresh".Will be getting some of those mason jars for better storage. Thanks for the video presentation.

Very enjoyable, thank you for sharing, late to the party and catching up,😃👍

Excellent vid Chris. Congrats. I liked it so much. Thanks.

Thanks, brand new and researching what to do, this was a helpful video.

Thank you sir just started smoking the pipe this helped out.

As usual, excellent video and content, thank you!

Great content. I just ordered 3lbs of Lane 1-Q so this comes in handy.

Lots of excellent information here. I came back to this video because i got two surprises today, one bad, one good: i discovered that a good tobacco i like was smelling bad and kinda after some months in the pack, while another was perfectly normal after even more months but in a well-sealed jar. In fact, for very occasional smokers like me, storage is certainly a crucial matter. Therefore, thanks for the video!

Whats up muttonchop!! Love your videos and you’re a genuine person

I keep all my tobacco in Mason jars and store them in my fridge in the vegetable crisper. Been perfect for me. Had them in there for over 5 years. Keeps the humidity I prefer, never too dry and never too wet.

Fantastic that is a great idea, thanks a bunch I look forward to your videos!

Very useful avise, many thanks! Best from Switzerland

I love the jars on the shelf behind you; "Old Toby," "Bree Leaf," "Green Dragon Leaf'" and a couple I can't read! What is actually in them or are they just decorative? I gotta say that during this pandemic I've been watching the extended versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings over and over. I definitely want to get a pipe! Keep it up Muttnchop, very informative and takes so much mystery out of the hobby.

Very clear explanation! Thanks!

So glad you made this video and i came across it. I just purchased my first ever pipes and tobacco today and then thought to myself, what do i need to do after i open it. Off to buy some canning jars i go!

Good evening sir, I just wanted to express how much I enjoy your videos and how informative they are from a new smoker’s perspective. I recently purchased my first pipe (a Dr. Grabow Tobacco Pipe, Royal Duke Large Bulldog). In recalling the video where you went over your pipe selection you mentioned you had certain pipes for aromatics and some for say Virginian tobacco. I wanted to know if there is a certain type of pipe that smokes aromatics “better”; say “cooler” than other types. Lastly, I also watched the video you made on filters and wanted to know if the Dr. Grabow Tobacco PipeRoyal Duke Large Bulldog accepts the 9mm filters you talked about? Again thank you so much

i was gonna ask you how you made the labels for the ball jar lids..but i found your video on that...really enjoy your videos..especially helpful to me a newbie to the hobby of pipe smoking

Thank you so much for info! Best regards from a newbie from Norway :D

I have been looking at the various ways of storing tobacco and want to add my two pence worth - i have just received 24 oz in 2 tins of Captain Black Cherry from USA ( I’m in UK) One tin I’m going to leave alone the other i want to split up. I like the idea of vacuum food bags which seem to be generally well reviewed and the vacuum mason jars. The negative of the food bags from some of the experts ; was while its ok for food some of the tasty tobacco molecules slip through the plastic. I have had the idea to wrap the tobacco in foil then put the pouch into the food vacuum gadget and seal it. I would welcome your, and the communities views on the pros and cons I like watching your videos and your reviews of tobacco - i wish it was easier to get some of your recommendations in UK - import fees are mad and hope Brexit, Jonson and Trump (perhaps unfortunately named for the more immature mind) can work some magic

Good video, exact info I needed. Have an order on the way and it looks like I need to make a trip to the store for some Mason Jars.....

I found a nice way to control moisture which cigar aficionados likely will know already: ask your tobacconist for boveda humidipaks. I believe G.L. Pease made some recommendations which you can find online but I found that the 58% to 69% range is good for pipe tobacco (in conjunction with an appropriate sealable container ofc).

TY SIR, i t was the thing I needed to learn. ty very much

Thank you for you tip . Nice to watch it .

I knew you had a video about storage...thanks Muttnchop!

Buenos consejos! saludos desde Rio Gallegos Santa Cruz, Argentina

These jars look awesome! We'll try to find them somewhere in Europe and setup a similar rack for tobacco.

Informative vid as usual. 👋🙂🥃

What about vacuum sealing the jars?

How's that go when it opens up? (9:02) Seriously though, as a new pipe smoker, your insights and wisdom are very helpful. Thanks for all the great information!

Great video I use the same method glass jars. Can you please recommend s bulk seller of pipe tobacco bearing in mind I’m from the UK thanks for sharing, happy pipe smoking 👌

Thank you Muttnchop, that was a good tutorial!

Hey Chris, question for you. Recommendation on cellar / room temperature for cellared jars?

I enjoy your videos very much. Ever tried Black Gold blended in San Diego?

I’ve had excellent luck at rehydrating tobacco with a ziplock and a damp paper towel with distilled water on it

Question: If I open a tin of tobacco, do you guys store the tobacco in the actual opened tin itself, or dump it out into a jar and throw the tin away? The reason I ask is I was going to try a few different aromatics, having a glass ball jar for every different type of tobacco seems unrealistic so I was going to try and see what options I would have. Say I bought 10 different aromatics to try to start, I opene a few to try, how would you store the differnet aromatics after breaking the seal?

i started with cigars so i had already the plastic boxes which are air tight, very cheap, in all kind of sizes, so when i ordered a little tin box or plastic pouches than i put them directly into a plastic box.

Hi! Love your videos! Such a help to a noob like me. Quick ? Thoughts on sealing , I’m storing 17 tobaccos currently just in 2-4 oz each in mason jars. Do you think they will stay fresh / moist enough for 3-4 years as I work through them? Or should I seal in boiling water? Thank you good sir!

Muttnchop...I'm a new pipe smoker (only a couple of months old). I've learned how to smoke a pipe mainly from watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise over the years! God bless you and your family!

My way I make it today is I use kitchen nylon over the mason jar top to seal and after I seal it with the rubber mason jar cap to be more airtight, can the nylon affect the flavour of the tobacco? I can't find the other jars anywhere

Very helpful 👌 thank you.

Thank you Muttnchop. Your videos are full of valuable information for a newbie pipesmoker like myself. Im going to buy me some Mason Jars for storing my tobacco. Your "daily" size, is that "pint" size? = 16 oz = 47 cl. Im not that use to imperial measurements so the differnt sizes are a bit confusing for me. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, it is highly appriciated. Best Regards from Sweden.

Great videos. Wish I could enjoy a smoke with you!

Hey Muttoncop! I have the exact same jars as you, but I have a problem.. you see, I don't have a cellar, so they're stored in the closet that I rarely use (the one with fancy clothing, lol), temperature is around 15-20 degrees celcius (50-70F I believe?), but my problem is that it seems like, after a month, the moisture has completely disappeared...and the jars are doublesealed.. would you recommend getting a hydrometer for the jars and then put in a moisturepack and check in dayli?

Another advantage to buying huge quantities of your favorite tobacco is it's cheaper since you won't have to pay inflated prices in the future and the best part is, when that brand or line discontinues, you can ration it out for a long time or even sell it at a premium price. Heck I'd pay fifty bucks for an ounce of true Syrian Latakia

Very informative, thanks! Subbed.

Hey! Great video, a question. What do you smoke regularly? You open aging jars and smoke some from it? And also, do tobacco ages in tins?

How do you pack the tobacco? Do you pack it loose or tight? What if the large 16 oz jar is only packed half full? What about those silver moisture buttons? Love ❤❤❤ your videos.

I'm new to pipes not new to tobacco. I was storing my pipe tobacco in a humidor. Will that suffice or do I need to invest in some jars?

Any issue with storing multiple individual bag in one jar? Also the bags are sealed and of different flavors.

to you find any difference between clear or colored jars?

What If put bovedas inside of metal thing that comes with tobacco?

For reference, an 16oz mason jar fills up halfway when you put 2oz of tobacco into it. I think Muttnchop uses the 16oz for intermediate storage. He says he puts 6oz of tobacco inside, so I guess it can fit 6oz if you press the tobacco down and pack it tight.

Hi Mutton Chop! Do i need to boil the jars to create a vacuum for my tobacco like you do when canning veggies?

Hi, can I use recycled jam jars to store my tobacco? David from Ireland..

I have noticed that open tins of aromatics keep much longer than English blends. I have a tin of Eileens Dream I opened almost a year ago and forgot about, and somehow it's still moist and fresh. Did the same thing with a tin of Plum Pudding, was dryer than a desert lol

Hey muttonchop. When storing in jars do you pack in as tight as possible? Or will the packing and pressure change it in a bad way over time? Thanx

First of all thank you for all your videos they have been both entertaining and informative for me as a VERY novice pipe smoker. (about 2 months) Now on to the question, if I am planning on storing a few tobaccos for a long period of time. Would it be worth vacuum sealing the mason jars?

How do you get the label on the top ? Great video!

Another very informative video, thank you sir. Size are the jars that hold 2oz please?

Great Channel, nice vlogs! Congrats From Czechoslovakia! Jiri:)

Hey guys I need some help, Do you know how to prepare my jar to put inside it a different mixture? I have a few jars that are empty now and I want to store new mixtures inside them but they still smell like the mixtures I had inside them so Im afraid the new mistures could get aromas or flavors from the jars. hugs for u all pipe smokers!

What about the tins that come with a wax seal on the tin lid? Won't those store the same as a jar?

Good video man, Ball brand mason jars are the only way to go for storing tobacco in my opinion

Where do you store the jars. Cool? Dark?

What about something like a vintage pipe rack / humidor? Coming from cigars, I’ve used Bóveda Packs to keep me cigars moist. Won’t they work as well?

Always enjoy watching your videos. Wish I new how to print labels. I’m desperately looking for an Orlik golden slice label to put on my jar. Or an empty tin without the stupid warnings on them. Here in the U.K. they on everything:-(. Could you help? Have you any empty tins good Sir?

How does tobacco dry out in a zip lock bag? Surely its sealed just like in a jar? Once I open a tin I just put the whole thing in a zip lock bag to keep it from drying out.

New subscriber brother!

Been using canning jars for years for storage of everything from food to tobacco. The screw portion of the "lid assembly " is referred to as the ring, the part in the middle is called the seal which has the rubber seal. I usually reuse the seal from a food canning session since it cannot be reused for food so I use it for tobacco or other goods. Vacuum sealing is not good using the type of lids that have a dedicated one way valve. When you draw out the air you are also drawing out the moisture. I do have a question, can you use a humidification system to maintain proper moisture levels within pipe tobacco? I use a 50/50 mix of propylene glycol and distilled water for my cigars. I have recently checked my stash of tobacco for my pipe that I put away ten years ago. I found the plastic tub that was supplied by the tobacconist had developed several cracks in it. I placed this humidification mix on a pad on top of the tobacco isolated with plastic, so far so good but it has developed a bite.

Hi Muttnchop Piper, Do you recommend a hydrastone for keeping tobacco fresh when storing tobacco? I had been keeping a leaf shaped hydrastone in some opened tins with plastic lids. It seems to work ok. In a canning jar would it keep it too moist? Is there a danger to this? I was wondering if a hydrastone would create mold, or alternatively, if it might actually dry out the tobacco by drawing too moisture out? I am currently using one in the shape of leaf and, as I am beginning to use canning jars, I don't know if I should pop a leaf in each Ball jar or if this is not recommended.

Do you ever age pipe tobacco or add it to a humidor similar to cigars?

From my understanding not all tins are created equal and some seals get compromised during storage. Would it be A good idea to vacuum seal the tins for a extra layer of protection? I'm ignorant on the subject of mason jars i doubt there is one large enough to simply place the tins in is there?

What about storing in the freezer?

Do I need to heat the jars and lids first for deep long term storage ? Thank You. Brian

Hey muttonchop piper, I’ve been doing a lot of research on this and I have a few questions. What’s your sanitization process for the jars before you stuff tobacco in them? Have you switched to a different blend for the jar and noticed the rubber seal being ghosted by the previous blend, or do you just use new lids? Last question, for long term storage let’s say 10 years, do you use the canning food process and place tobacco in the jars while they’re boiling in water?

So, if I am using one of these jars, no need for a boveda pack to preserve proper humidity? Also, do you need to create the vacuum seal, or just tighten firmly? Many thanks from a new piper.

Muttnchop Piper! Another good video. I had a question if I should use a descent in the jars to maintain the right moister in the tobacco. I have such a device in my humidifier for my cigars. Is this something I should look into?

I have a large jar (1/2 gal). My plan is to fill it with a variety of tabacco blends, each in their separate zip lock bag. I have a foodsaver to suck the air out of the jar. Questions: 1. Will the tabacco take on a zip lock plastic flavor? 2. Will the blends take on the smell of their neighbors, even if they are in their separate bags? Thanks!

what's your opinion on those smoker's candles with that green spot of essential oils for indoor odor control? do you have a video and do they even work?

What size is the intermediate storage jar? The one that holds 6 oz? I would like to get one to fill with Father Dempsey for cellaring.

When you talk about travelling are you referring to by car or by plane? Or both? I am wondering with security the way it is now at airports, what to do when traveling with pipe and tobacco by plane.
