keep your cans in ziplocs?

[daruckis]

right now i have all my cans in a mini fridge, chilling up in the top rack thing in the door. ive read people use ziploc bags, is this recommended? i havent been doing it to just avoid the extra hassle, but today i noticed it seems like my ettan portions are getting kinda dried out. probably all of them are. theyve been open about 2 weeks or so. ive got 12 open cans now, and im fighting the urge to open up my other 11 cans cause i loving try new ones, but i still have so many of these opens to go through. i couldnt resist opening my roda los and general onyx though. also, im keeping my unopened cans on the ice tray slot in my mini fridge, which i think is slightly less effective than a separate freezer, but its pretty cold. anyways i guess i gotta start snusing more and go through this shit. i wanna crack open my ettan loose and my claq qui.

i guess i started rambling and forgot the initial purpose of this post. whatever. it is what it is.

I ziploc the snus that goes in the freezer, but not my fridge snus. Snus will dry out, especially after being opened. I suspect that bagging open snus won't do much to preserve moisture, since you have to open the tin to get a portion/pris out, and I think that's where most of the moisture goes. I could very well be wrong. It would be an interesting experiment to try out.

I ziplock mine. I have one in the freezer for unopened surplus, and one in the fridge for my opens. I like to think it keeps them fresher than not being in a bag. I have cans that have been opened since June, and while drier than first opened, they still taste good and aren't completely dried out. Plus when I stay somewhere else overnight, I can just grab the whole bag and take them all!

I have one of those heavy duty seal a meal things.
I use that for freezer storage.
For the refrigerator they either sit loose or are in a Tupperware container.

It just depnds how quickly you go through your cans. They will dry out in the refrigerator given enough time.

I use some empty Smuckers peanut butter jars that perfectly hold 6 cans. I can see moisture on the inside walls of the jar, which would be moisture that would be lost if they weren't in jars.

I took some 2-liter soda bottles, and cut the top off them, and they hold quite a few cans, and it all fits in the fridge door. I also took a coffee creamer container that was straight cylinder, and cut the top off that, and it holds cans maybe 8 stacked up. I do use ziplock bags for the freezer. i do have a few open cans up there in the mix too that I got in trades and not ready for yet.

I keep mine in the freezer. Even the open cans. When I leave the house, I'll take a can of whatever I'm feeling like with me and then put it back in the freezer when I get home. I'm not sure if this is optimal or not, but I haven't had any problems with quality decreasing.

I keep my freezer tins in ziplocks; however, I don't bother with my fridge tins. Just yesterday I took a portion from a Catch Licorice tin that I found in the back of the fridge that had been open for about two months and I expected it to be dried out, but it tasted fine.

I do the same thing. The ones that are unopened in the freezer are ziplocked though, and they keep VERY well. I have not had one go bad, even past its expiration date. The opened cans I keep also in the freezer, in a small tupperware bowl (holds about 4 cans). Seems to work fine.

I am utterly and completely lazy, I do nothing to my cans. Most are frozen, and they always seem fine. But I keep very few in the fridge. either a can that I am having one or two a day...Oynx is a great example. And it has always been fine after 3 weeks. Or occasionally, a can I dislike that will live in the fridge for a year before I just bring myself top toss it

Snus isn't that delicate. A single, very hot day can almost spoil or at least dry a snus-can, but normally it absolutely doesn't matter, if the snus is unrefrigerated and unbagged (which works between 3 weeks and 3 months, depending on the single brand), bagged and stored in the cellar (which works fine up to 6 months or several months past(!) the best before date), refrigerated (which works even longer) or frozen (which works for more than 12 months, according to what I've read, I've yet to try that but I have no doubts that it's true).

BTW, I'm just about to place an order that will require to freeze a part of the snus, because I haven't got enough room in the fridge, and I have no problem with that fact, though I'm absolutely no fan of frozen food. Snus really isn't that delicate to think too much about the best storage-solution. It has been invented a hundred years before the first fridge was invented, just like most other sorts of smokeless tobacco that are popular today. If that doesn't say enough!

Cheers!

I don't do much with my cans either. Unopened goes in the freezer. If they're fiberboard, I store them upside down. Not sure if prolonged contact with the freezer can do any damage or not to the fiberboard side but I do that just to be safe. Opens go in the crisper.

Eh, I keep mine in a freezer bag with separate bags for opened and unopened.

I don't, but I go through my stock fairly quickly, so I don't really feel the need to. It is a good idea, though; and as stated already, it's pretty much a must if you are putting tins in the freezer.

I keep my snus in a mini fridge as well. So far I haven't used ziploc bags and it has all been fine. Well, except for when I went on vacation and left a couple of older cans in the fridge and the fridge died while I was gone.
