im somewhat new to the storage of hash, and im curious whats the absolute best way to store it? out of natural light and jarred i presume? Also how long is hash good for if stored properly. does pressing make a difference?

Note, sorry gang the slang in my parts was to say shish instead of hashish.

Pressing hash with a small amount of heat, puts a smooth hard sealed surface on it. This will prevent almost all degredation of its quality. I've stored both buds and hash in sealed Mason jars in a cool dark area for years and enjoyed them when opened. Heat, light, and moisture are what you want to avoid when it comes to long-term storage. I can verify from personal experience that 5 years is no problem at all. I also know of others that claim to have stored it for much longer.

i remember reading a story a long while ago about the discovery of a viking ship / shipwreck where there was some hashish found that was still potent, or had some remaining potency to it....

is the pressing necessary to retain potency if the product is to be stored in an airtight/dark area? as i understand it the pressing creates a barrier to oxidation 1, and 2 to light... does it help in another way that im missing? excluding the variations in taste one can find

sidenote ive been hand pressing my snowcap bubble lately for a more robust smoke.

Resin Storage

Resin Storage

The best way to store resin powder is to keep it in the freezer after it has been properly dried. It will not change at all, even after years of storage. Do not press the resin until time of smoking this will keep from oxidation. Oxidation causes decrease in potency.

I have smoked homegrown Resin powder after it was stored in the freezer for more than 13 years. Melted and tasted like it was fresh.

Cherniak's new hashmaking book suggests "curing" resin for three months with low heat; Ive got a discussion thread going here. Come on over and let's discuss this...
