I have some from 2002. Still good as the day I bought it. I just keep it in the little plastic box. Maybe that's why it comes in a little plastic box.

I live in swden and our climate is very dry. a pops can die in a year. putting some drops of water in to the red plastic box makes the rosin softer. ayone with a similar experience?

I've had my Pops for about 2 years and it's still as good as new.

I know that when it's winter here and the heaters are on (I use radiator heating) and the humidity is down, my Pops tends to harden and become brittle. But once I keep in a more humid room, it goes back to normal.
