I'd like to do the same, but the curing process seems a bit complex.

How long will tobacco stay fresh for in storage?

Good for Don, but he better realize real soon that Siobhan DeLancey is full of shit. If the FDA tobacco bill gets passed (a near certainty), an FDA field agent will very likely tell him something very different; that he owes around $60,000 in inventory taxes on his ton of processed tobacco. See here:

Go to my post #6.

BTW, this is going to be the route FDA uses to get its foot in the door for taxing homegrown pot for personal use once it’s legal.

Every American juror has a Constitutional right to acquit all defendants of “consensual crimes” based on nothing more than a disagreement with the law, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's false instructions to the contrary. There is no legal obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a unanimous verdict, but there are many good reasons to vote “not guilty”. So do your patriotic duty and preserve individual liberty at the same time by getting on a jury, standing your ground against intimidating judges and “bully jurors”, fulfilling the jury’s original purpose (to counteract big abusive government), and stop convicting non-violent people of non-crimes. IT ONLY TAKES ONE JUROR!

Yes, the curing process involves more than just barn drying. Unless it’s flue-cured, it includes stem-hanging in the sun and a high-temp alkaline fermentation.

It stores better than most herbs. Bugs don’t like it. But like most herbs, make sure it’s very dry before you seal it away. The problem there is with crushing and then rehydrating for proper smoking moisture. If it’s stored with smoking moisture, it should be frozen.

Now watch as the government cracks down on growing your own personal tobacco as they can not regulate and control it. :\

Never freeze rolling tobacco. It will turn to dust on you.

I buy 1 pound bags and they will stay fresh unopened for upto 6 months if stored in a cool dark place.
When i open a bag it goes into a "Clik-Clak" airtight storage container. A pound lasts me about a month, btw.

Do you think buying a pound of it is more cost-effective than buying packs every so often?

I pay $41 a pound from here:

I smoke "the Good Stuff" full flavor, and a pound lasts me about a month.
I order Zen tubes, 3 cartons of 250 for $2 each per pound.

Before the tax increase it was about $15/pound.

Yes, it's cheaper to buy in bulk.
