Also, when it comes to jars, it’s good to flip them over every so often during long term storage. Gravity eventually plays a part and the moisture will seep to the bottom making what’s on top be much dryer.

On those opened ones with the plastic lids that @Amos_Umwhat is talking about…I’ll burp them once a month or so. They seem slowly but continually build up pressure and it can make the lids skew.
I'm glad you posted that observation. I've wondered to myself just what was loosening them, and I'm looking at the Star of the East tin right now and the top is askew. And I know, for sure, that I snapped it down all the way around and double checked it.
There are only two options left to me. Jar it up, or smoke it up. Whatever shall I do?

FWIW….anything I open gets jarred. All extras stay in original unopened packaging. I made the mistake of starting with 4 oz jars…way too small. 8 oz is as small as I go. Get plenty, more than you need, of jars in case you go on a buying spree.
Take a look through this thread. I've modified some of my positions since I started this, but nothing major. Others have contributed as well. Might help with perspective.

Less moist tobacco is not always a bad thing. I prefer mine a tad on the dryer side than most.

If you decide to get some jars, opt for the wide mouth.

A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.
