Snus Storage Questions

[MojoQuestor]

Somewhere along the way I got the impression that white portions may tend to freeze & store better than others. I don't know where I got that idea. Maybe it's something I once read here, or maybe there's nothing to it at all. Any thoughts?

I can see where a piece of paper that's impregnated with moisture might suffer a slightly greater change from freezing and thawing, as compared to one which is dry. I doubt that in itself is enough to make much difference. I can't see, at the moment, anything else that would make a difference. Maybe freezing and/or thawing affects the flavor or composition of the juice in the OP paper, but I kind of doubt it would be enough to matter.

Several months ago I picked up a little two and a half foot high refer/freezer at a Big Lots store for about seventy bucks, or around the cost of ordering two rolls. It is the kind of thing designed to fit easily into a den or rec room for a home bar or something, and I find that it has no problem storing twenty rolls frozen in Pringle's tubes. If I didn't put them in the 'tater chip tubes for ease of access (and because I'm anally controlling) I suppose it would handle a bunch more. I'd also guess someone could prolly pick up one second hand at a garage sale or something for less.

I've got cans of Ettan los in my freezer since 6/09 and they're fine with no zip bags. I do thaw them for about 24 hours (usually less) in the fridge before using.

Freezing: snus will remain in it's ideal state for several years. Make sure to thaw out paperboard (General Los, Ettan Los, etc.) cans in the refrigerator for 48 hours before using.

And why is it important to thaw paperboard cans out? Just curious

The distribution of moisture will take a couple of days to return to its original state. As well, the frozen snus will erode the wax sealant in the can if not thawed. Remember, this ONLY applies to Swedish Match Los varieties.

I still vacuum seal 'em by the roll in the freezer.

[snusjus]

Refrigeration: snus will stay fine until the expiration date. If past the expiration, the tobacco will dry out and the pH level will decrease over time.

i have never used freezer bags. i just throw em in the freezer. though the ph dropping does make sense.

[redsfan1005]

When I first started snusing, I was all anal about it and vacuum sealed the snus in bags, now I just throw them in the drawer in the bottom of the freezer, and now that I got 2 of the fridgemates from clubsnus, I keep them full as well. I have seen no taste difference between the two, but I only keep enough snus for 3 to 4 months.

Looks like it's time to re-organize and clean out fridge and freezer.

Throw those space wasters out. Canned goods FTW!! Spam and potatoes are all you need for healthy meals. Freezer space is more important than frozen vegetables, and ice cubes :^D

I've got mine in freezer bags. I have 6 mixed rolls in the freezer, in 4 bags and some 'naked' due to space constraints.

Unfortunately,I just got my order from clubsnus of 2 more rolls in fridgemates and 2 boxes of Discreet, but due to needing to keep food for the family, there is no more room in the freezer or fridge for the new additions :roll:

I use a big freezer bag, it hold 3 rows of 8 cans. In the freezer. Doesn't take up much space too.

That's what I do. I have three full now, and still ordering!

3 bags? Amateur :^P :^D

lol, hey I have a 3 year old GIRL, and another one coming next month. Plus an addiction to video games that nicotine can't touch! I'm getting there!
