What is the durability and quality of the plastic used in these bags?

The durability and quality of the plastic used in bags for cigars and tobacco can vary, but generally, these bags are designed to provide a suitable environment for preserving the freshness and quality of the products they contain. LDPE or Low-Density Polyethylene bags are the most common bags used in cigar and tobacco shops. However, the favorable laminated zip locking bags are gaining momentum as they offer a superior barrier and seal, but they are at a premium price point.

Are these bags designed to effectively preserve the freshness and flavor of cigars and tobacco?

Yes. Tobacco and cigar bags are specially made to keep cigars and tobacco fresh and full of taste. Most of the time, these bags are made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE), which are strong materials that keep out air, wetness, and other contaminants. This barrier is very important for keeping the right humidity and freshness levels inside the bag, which is a key part of keeping the quality and flavor of tobacco goods. Most of the time, the bags have dependable seals that keep the inside environment stable and protect the goods from outside factors that could compromise the cigars or tobacco. It's also possible for some bags to offer UV protection (Laminated foil bags for instance) to keep the tobacco from getting damaged by sunlight. Overall, tobacco and cigar bags are made with materials and designs that help them keep their aroma, taste, and amount of moisture while they are being stored and shipped.
