Any tips on longer term storage of these (or whether they can be stored) I am quite happy with my storage of dryer English snuffs, but on several occasions I’ve opened a poschl, left it a few weeks, then found the aroma kind of off, kind of like a damp rag smell. Tends to be worse on the menthols ( had it with two boxes of gletscher pride) but equally had it with a packards. I keep my poschls together in airtight containers, they just always seem to get this damp off smell. Thoughts?

You keep them all together in one container? hmmm. I decant all of my Bernard’s snuffs into smash boxes and the larger batches like Perlesreuter into large glass 10 oz containers and I notice nothing wrong.

I enjoy the sourness that develops in the Poschls as they age. Not sure about what you’re getting.

Well I’m talking about the retail small flip boxes of them. I keep them the same way as any English flip boxes ( which admittedly I don’t like but have some of) but the English seem fine, the poschls taste weird after a while when I say keep em together, I mean i keep similar flavoured poschls together, and certainly keep em well away from my toasts, sp’s etc I am not talking about cross tainting. Just that the moister ones taste mustier after a while

Admittedly, I tend to dip into poschls less often than my English, maybe that, plus crap boxes they are in is the issue I have some well kept sp’s and f&t’s that have stored brilliantly for 3 yrs now I also don’t see merit in breaking out a 10g poschl from plastic flip box to something else? If the answer is to buy in larger quantity, then so be it… I do so with English snuffs, but have never seen any poschls in bulk??

I’ve never noticed Poschl snuffs deteriorating, but I find many of them not too great even when new. English snuffs are only moisturised with water, so they can be easily re-hydrated if they dry out. Poschl snuffs are moisturised with oils of some variety, so if they are stale, I would throw them away.

I’ve never had a problem with these–I regularly keep a tapbox of Gletscher Prise in my back pocket and one of Packard’s Club in my front pocket and have never had one dry out. Do you live in a particularly arid climate perhaps?

I’ve never had this problem either. I have a tapbox of Gletscher Prise that I’ve been using here and their for probably close to a year and it is still as fresh as the day I broke the seal.

My very first box of Poschl Apricot got lost beside my computer desk. while my girl and I were rearranging we found it and it was still quite good. It sat there for almost a year.

interesting, thanks. I dont find they dry out massively, just that the aroma changes to something that I dont actually like - maybe its just me.
