  Buying bulk pipe tobacco is very attractive to some smokers because it brings along a couple of advantages over buying small packs singly or even small quantities of loose pipe tobacco. For one thing, tobacco that has been kept together will age better and retain its freshness through proximity to the other tobacco with which is packaged.

  That is a safeguard against quality, which is a huge concern when buying any tobacco products, especially if you buy online. In addition, there are some other reasons that buying tobacco in bulk is attractive. For one thing, pipe smokers who frequently enjoy a pipe might find themselves running out of tobacco too often. Buying in bulk will help to keep them well-stocked, and it saves money, too. That’s the other thing and probably the biggest draw - the savings that come along with buying in bulk.

  Still, there are a couple of things you need to keep in mind before you buy bulk pipe tobacco. Actually, these are the things you should keep in mind after you’ve already bought it.

  1. Keep it together, and keep air out

  Probably the most important thing to remember is that when you buy only small quantities of tobacco, you don’t need to worry too much about hydration. You’ll probably smoke it all before it ever dries out or becomes a problem.

  However, when you buy in bulk, make sure you keep the tobacco together so it protects itself and retains its flavor. It is equally important to keep the air out of the container you store it in. You can buy special jars or tins expressly for this purpose.

  2. Keep it well hydrated

  Keeping the tobacco together is the bare minimum that you need to guarantee here. You also need to keep it hydrated, even if it is kept together in an airtight container. Tobacconists will be glad to set you up with a little terra cotta disk or a packet that will help keep the moisture up around the tobacco.

  The longer you store it, the more critical it becomes to ensure that you keep the moisture levels up. Dried out tobacco can be restored, but it will never have the same flavor as it did if it was allowed to dry out.

  3. Keep it out of the light

  Another thing you should, be cognizant of is to keep the tobacco away from contact with the light. That is the reason that some keep their bulk pipe tobacco in tins, and it is also the reason that some jars made for storing tobacco are tinted. Still, if you choose to keep your bulk tobacco in a clear glass jar, keep it away from the light.
