I'm getting my tax refund soon and plan to buy a few cartons to set aside for the future. Whatever that might bring

What's the best way to store tobacco?

The freezer?

Thank you for any suggestions.

Yup, I'd go with the freezer but you can also put them in the fridge too.

Just remember refrigeration REMOVES moisture (that's how it works) and regardless whether you stick them in the fridge or the freezer make sure you put them in heavy-duty airtight bags.

If they are stored for over 3 months, unpack them entirely and put them in a humidor that is suitable for cigars for about 2 weeks prior to smoking them.

Why anyone in this day and age would still be smoking manufactured cigarettes is a puzzler. Those "store bought" smokes contain between 630 and 720 non-healthy additives (depending on mfg.) and whereas a few years back the avg. tube contained about 2 oz. of tobacco they now contain about .9 oz. of tobacco...which means more than 1/2 the tube contains some sort of filler that isn't tobacco. And let's forget the FSC and those cancer agents that all cigs have.
