Storage of used hookah tobacco
What is the correct storage of used hookah tobacco in different containers?
Such a thing as storing used hookah tobacco is not advanced science, but if you are still interested in expert opinion and professional advice on how to do it correctly - we invite you to read on.
This question usually arises for those who have purchased tobacco in larger packages. Small packages are consumed very quickly, so even tobacco that is not properly stored usually does not lose all its properties. When the package is opened, the seal disappears, the climate suddenly changes, and it immediately starts to work on the tobacco. After purchasing tobacco quantities of 200 grams or more and opening the package, it is worth thinking about how to store the used hookah tobacco in the future. Sometimes you might just want to break up larger packages into smaller portions. This can be done for convenience of use, for example to have pre-packaged portions for one or more cups.
There are two types of product storage containers: vacuum and non-vacuum. Depending on the type of tobacco and its properties, we can more accurately choose the right container for its storage. For example, the famous hookah bar Odessy Lounge, founded by the man who invented the famous Tangiers tobacco, uses only non-vacuum containers. This is especially important when it comes to NOIR type tobaccos. Since the container is not completely sealed and air from the environment enters it, the tobacco constantly acclimatizes and adapts to the atmosphere. It is believed that this method of storage is most suitable for storing unwashed tobacco. Another important fact to mention is that tobacco stored in such a non-vacuum container loses its aroma and moisture much faster.
Another option for storing tobacco is in sealed, vacuum-sealed containers. They come in different sizes, so you can use them to store both smaller and larger amounts of tobacco. For those who care about design, such dishes can be found in various shapes and colors, so you can certainly match them to the interior or simply to the style of your hookah, creating a sense of integrity. One of the advantages of such dishes is that they can usually be found at home without any problems, so there is no need to search and buy them separately. Well, if you still haven't found such a vacuum container at home, there are still a few ways you can get one for free, which we'll tell you about below.
Vacuum and non-vacuum vessels are also divided into two subcategories: deep and shallow. Experienced hookah enthusiasts You will be told that a shallow container and the storage of used hookah tobacco are the most ideal pair. Since the shallow container is usually quite flat, it has a large surface area, so the tobacco is kept in its own juice. This reduces the chance that the tobacco will lose its flavor or dry out. In a deep, tall container, all the tobacco juice runs down, so the top dries out quickly and quickly loses its aroma and taste. Our advice is to always mix the tobacco before preparing the bowl for the hookah session, regardless of whether the tobacco has been stored in a shallow or deep container. By mixing the tobacco in the container, you extend its shelf life and avoid the loss of aroma and taste. By constantly maintaining moisture, the tobacco will serve you longer.
Other ways to get containers for storing tobacco
Storing used hookah tobacco does not require a large investment. Just don't throw away grocery containers and other containers from the store. We often have salad or sweet pastry containers at home, and they can be successfully used to store tobacco, even though they are not completely sealed. Even simple, screw-top jars for pickles or tomato sauce are perfect for airtight storage. The only downside is that such containers can sometimes be a bit narrow, which makes it inconvenient to mix tobacco in them.
You can also find jars for home pickling, but this option is the least recommended. First of all, this rubber gasket on the lid absorbs the tobacco aroma very quickly, so you will never use such a container for other purposes. In addition, there is the same problem here as with other jars - it is quite difficult to reach the very bottom when mixing the tobacco. Of course, if these types of jars are the only containers you have at home out of all the ones listed here, you can certainly store tobacco in them.
