[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 217102, member: 1969"] Is there such thing as amber glass Mason jars? That'd be cool. I know there's opaque swing-top jars, but those are pricey. I think herbs are a little different than treated tobacco as far as sensitivity, but the idea is the same. Keep them in a controlled environment limiting light and temperature extremes, and you should be good. With herbs, and even spices, the volatile components, vitamins and other compounds tend to get oxidized and affected by UV spectrum, probably in some scientific process in which I couldn't spell or pronounce. All I know is, everything from beer to supplements need to be kept dark and cool. Tobacco is much the same. Plus, if you leave your tobak in there long enough for some of that wonderful anaerobic action (that means years of keeping the lid on, or leavin' bacca in the tins), your patience will be rewarded. 8) [/QUOTE]
