I already called and they told me to keep it.

I only wanted to order some paraphernalia and was a bit shy of the free delivery discount, so I added two g's to my shopping cart. Now I got 10 times the amount. By the rate I'm going, this is gonna last me 2 years!

Man, first my Jamaican roulette last night and now this. Is this a sign?

Also: Can weed buds in an air-proof packaging stay fresh for a year or so?

Store them in a glass jar, preferably with rubber airtight seal. Choose a a size so that it doesn't take more than 2/3 of jar volume. It can be dark glass but you still should keep it away from sunlight. Drop Boveda 62% humidity control pack into that jar, check it every couple of months and it should last for even longer than that.

As a cigar guy.... this is great advice. Boveda and a container with a gasket is the way to go for anything.

That's exactly how I store my buds. In glass jars like this and the jars I keep in my stash box, which itself is then stored in a cabinet.

The new 2x10g were delivered in an air tight, light-proof paper-packaging. Should I just keep those closed until I need them, and then transfer them to a jar, or open them immediatly, transfer them to a jar, and drop that humidity control pack in there?

You could also do both. Keep them in their packaging, and toss that in a jar. Might be excessive, but these are valuable goods!

I haven't thought about it. Where I come from MM is usually quite dry and requires humidity boost from humidity control packets so I just move move it to jars immediately. Probably best if someone else could weigh in.
