You guys have s....t loads of tobacco.
These guys are the 1%ers of tobacco.

Boboro, your baccy storage is a disgrace.
I mean, what the heck you doing drinking light beer? In my defence I drink beer while workin out in the sun. Not a good place to drink a heavey beer.
Here rests in peace a Hampshire Grenadier
Who caught his death drinking cold small beer
Soldier, take heed from his untimely fall
And when you drink, drink strong, or not at al
Hey Chicken, maybe your woman can teach my woman how to process tobaccoI let mine hang till I need my jars filled,.I like to keep 6----1gallon jars full at all times..
Although I've gotten good. By teaching my woman how to strip. And shred.
Yesterday while I was at work she filled up 8 jars...that will last for a while
Regular Ziplock bags are not very air tight. .
Those bucket bags look super. 5 gallon Buckets are Cheap or Free.Which is why I recommended Ziplock's from MylaPro... They're made of Mylar.
Does anyone here vacuum seal their leaf? I was going to do that with mine when it finishes up in the kiln. I was going to seal it at medium case. I would think that would work well since it would be in an environment pretty well free from oxygen. And since my humidity situation is like it is it's kind of difficult to keep anything at case very easily. In fact I use to sell cigars retail here and I'd have difficulty maintaining humidity in a commercial humidor with a commercial humidistat and humidifier.
Also, I'll be strictly using this leaf for cigars. Unfortunately for me I haven't gotten any leaf from WLT yet so I'm without any of their bags. I do have a plethora of storage totes so I could go that direction if need be.
Any thoughts on vacuum sealing whole leaf are appreciated.
Cheers,

Sorry, I read what you said but not what you meant. I saw Ziploc, which I believe is a trademark brand of SC Johnson. No one else can manufacture or sell anything called Ziploc, and to my knowledge they are only good for short term storage of tobacco. Mylar is another story, as you pointed out correctly.
I use these free food grade buckets from deli and gamma ray lids, holds case 6 months. I put 15 pounds in one bucket with a home made lever baler. I have drilled a 1/8 inch hole in the bottom of one and vacumed with shop vac with tape ready,(got plugs but not fast enough. Another favorite is The large zip lock tote with gasket like you ferment in the kiln. Holds case very well.Those bucket bags look super. 5 gallon Buckets are Cheap or Free.
Nice way to store lots of Baccy.
