I keep mine in 4gal buckets after I shred it-free for asking at Sam's club
I use a lot of Zip Lock bags, but for long-term storage, I have to keep them within my humidor, to prevent gradual drying. Freezer bags are a more effective vapor barrier than standard storage bags, but both still allow the loss of moisture. (I sometimes use a large Zip Lock to allow tobacco that is a bit too moist to slowly dry out.)
Any kind of jar with a snug lid will maintain tobacco at the original level of moisture--both a feature and a risk.

I have empty 1lb. pipe tobacco bags, would those work better than freezer bags? Would a small silica gel packet in the bag help with the moisture?

I use recycled plastic bags that used to hold the 3 bags of milk...
Are fiberboard cans like the ones Copenhagen uses available for retail anywhere?
Does anyone know what those fiberboard cans are called? Neither place has anything called "fiberboard can".
When it's made of plastic, it is called a low profile jar.

The low profile jars seem like they would serve well for "tin" size portions of home-blended pipe tobacco.

Checked out those links - no beans. Can't find these anywhere
