What criteria do you use to determine whether to store in a fridge or not? My bulk snuff is stored in large glass, airtight jars (small, medium, large). I also have some loose, unopened 10g and 25g tins. All stored in the refridgerator. 

So, whats the opinions out there? How do you determine if it makes it to the fridge or not? If everything is airtight/unopened, does it really matter then?

I only fridge Molens De Kralingse snuff I keep Sir Walter Scott in the freezer. No need for storing other snuff other than regular room temperature and out of direct sunlight .

Will it help with those unopened tins, or are they just as well-off at room temp?

Most of the snuff’s in question are WoS, a lot of SG, some Toques. Nothing i would consider exotic.

SG are vacuumed packed unless they are tap boxes and there is no hope for them. Some Wilsons have high salt content I forget what ones but read that they rusted the tins. I never heard anything go wrong with Toque. Most the those snuffs are fine on the shelf.

 Any opened tins get decanted into air tight glass jars and are stored out of direct sunlight. Sudden change in temperature may cause moisture inside that can lead to mould or rust so best to keep at a constant room temperature don’t store your snuff in a car or shed . All F&T snuff are decanted upon delivery. Those tins decay with the salt content of the snuff. 

And keep your menthols away from plain snuffs to avoid cross contamination. I have a box with scotches flavored and plain I didn’t put in glass jars and the checkerberry had gotten into a plain snuff that was next to it. it wasn’t bad and dissipated after some time but menthols will taint a plain snuff and change it for a very long time. 

For extreme long term storage I suggest vacuumed packing individual tins with a foodsaver vacuum system. 

Snus will keep best it the freezer in freezer bags. Open snus in the fridge in bags. Moist Snuff or dipping tobacco should be put in freezer bags and stored in fridge or freezer. Self defrosting units will dehydrate moisture. best spot in the fridge is the crisper or close to it with humidity level on high.

Pipe tobacco is best kept in airtight glass jars for ageing . I read tobacco doesn’t age in vacuumed packed tins as fast

Cigars are best in a humidor with a constant level of correct  humidity.   

I think I covered the bulk of it. Still have questions?    

Nope, Thank You. I’ve got my cigar storage under control. I figured the airtight jars would be fine in controlled, constant room temp. I was just a little curious about those tins. Medicated have always been kept seperate. No other tobacco use, so no concern about those.

The less snuff i have in the fridge, the more room I have for beer…
