I have a 4oz cake, i plan to store half long term and keep the rest out for smoking, should i rub it out in to ribbon or store it as a cake? Im using mason jars for storage.
Well, I'm no expert, but if I know I'm going to be smoking a caked blend fairly regularly and soon, I rub it out. If I expect to put it away I leave it as cake. This seems to keep it fresher longer, IMHO.
On a related note, anything that comes in the old style tins, IOW not airtight, goes immediately into a Mason Jar. If the tin has the plastic lid, I leave it in that.

I will let the experts answer this as I’m interested too. Anything I open from original packaging, immediately, goes into sealed jars.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

It will store fine either way. Leaving it as a cake for long term storage may help the flavors meld together better.
The main thing is to remember that you can't have your cake and smoke it too.
I leave it caked.
I was curious, fooled again. Y’all are not talking about the eating kind.
Cake
It certainly looks edible, been tempted to treat it like a plug of chewing tobacco lol
Wait, you dont swallow the tobacco juice?
