I am thinking packs of Bugle Boy in mason jars and then vaccum packed.

Not a bad idea, that. Thanks.

“I am thinking packs of Bugle Boy in mason jars and then vaccum packed.”

Good idea! One of the earliest `preppers’ was Pat Frank, author of the atomic novel “Alas Babylon” (BTW it was set in the Florida Panhandle, far away from the target cities of Orlando, Tampa, and Miami). He later wrote a post-nuclear survival manual in which he asserted that,

“The day may come when a pound of tobacco will be worth more than a pound of gold.”

This was written in 1960, IIRC.
