I guess some may assume they are clean, but I never did. Even if I thought they may be clean I would rather make sure myself. The same thing goes for cloths. Some people say I'm crazy for washing new cloths but then others agree with me. Cool topic take care.
I have worked my entire working life starting with a real job in a factory building refrigerators. Even a factory with good house keeping is still a dirty dusty place so I run them through the dishwasher before using them.
Thanks for this, James. I’ve been running around in a panic checking all my jars in the cellar. I have some stuff jarred over a year now, all looks good. just to be safe, I’ll probably wash my jars from here on out
I have always washed mine. I always figured that was just me being a bit ANAL, but they smell musty/dirty straight from the PACKAGE, and i dont want that to TAINT my tobacco.
