Per the expert, the best storage conditions for powder is arctic cold. That is cold and dry. He said water exposure damages powder.

That bit about the water is interesting. I suspect it would in reality be uncontrolled humidity. I say that because it has been reported that Alliant has a 100+ year old sample of Unique that is stored IN water, as in, the powder itself is wet, underwater. They take some out periodically, dry it out and test it. Word is that it still works just fine.
