A while back I bought some storage jars with the latch tops, they're the perfect size for holding 8oz of tobacco.
Now that my cellar is expanding, I need more jars and unfortunately the Christmas Tree Shop I went to last time is now out of the jars I bought. So now I'm shopping online instead (notably from Amazon).
The thing is, when I look at the pictures for the half-pint mason jars, they all seem to be really small compared to the jars I bought (unfortunately for jars and such, about the only labling there was, was the price tag so I have no idea what they're actual ounce capacities are)...So now I'm realizing you can't buy the mason jars based on weight capacity, can you?! If I bought a bunch of 8oz capacity jars, I'd have to be cramming my 8oz bags of tobacco really hard to get them to fit.
So I'm wondering what you folks that source your jars from online, how do you calculate the size/capacity to tobacco weight? 2-to-1 (so buy 16oz capacity to hold 8oz of tobacco)? Bigger?
