Snus Storage Questions

:^D

You don't disappoint LaZ. I was fully expecting that as I was writing the above :^D

I have no idea about the temperature; it freezes stuff :^D

I use EZ zip bags, and what I do is leave a ~2" hole, suck out the air with my mouth, then zip the bag shut while sucking. It vacuum seals it to some extent, but not so great tbh. I doubt doing it that way accomplishes much, but it's easy enough, so I do it :^)

Are you people trying to make me....

But seriously, I'm curious about some "freezing" techniques myself. My biggest concern is opening my snus in a year or so and finding it all frost bitten.

I've been vacuuming bagging my snus since day 1. I have snus over a year old and it's all been fine. My opened cans of things I don't use often are kept in freezer bags, they do tend to get a bit of freezer burn.

Yea, there is a resemblance. Interestingly enough, the Booth family lived right down he road from me :^)

Edgar Allan Poe :^)

Right. Silly me. that is Poe. I'm glad.

Do you think there's a slight resemblance?

[Jimbob_Rebel]

beat me to the punch!

[Jimbob_Rebel]

If I'm not mistaken that's Edgar Allen Poe.

OK. thanks for the info.

Good to know.

What temp is your freezer and do you vacuum bag?

I have snus that's going on 3 years old, and it's mostly pretty good. None of it has gotten outright bad, but some are a bit lacking. The subtler flavors have washed out. Others are as good as new, virtually no difference.

The "up to a year" statement seems like a guess to me. I mean, I've mistakenly eaten pot pies that were 3+ years old and didn't notice any difference.

I guess we'll see. I expect some of my SnusX to last 5 years (double sealed and deep frozen.)

Welcome to SnusOn!

Most of the snus I use has been in the freezer for a year or more in ziplock freezer bags. I've never had a problem with freshness.

I recently bough a vacuum sealer for my pact stash which I expect to store in the freezer for over a year before use.

How Long in the Freezer

I am sure this has been broached before but my search facility is not working right.

My collection of snus is getting quite sizable and I am starting to get worried about storage.

From what I have heard you can keep your snus in the freezer for up to a year. Is this just an off the cuff statement, is a year a sensible outer limit or is its longevity much longer if frozen in sealed bags.

Cheers
