I have a potential problem. I hope not, but you wise gentlemen might be able to tell me otherwise. You see, I don't really have a pipe cabinet or a cellar space to store my collection of tobaccos, and it's a fairly large and varied collection, thanks to the kindness of many on this forum. The question is storing it all. From the photo here, you can see my "tobacco/pipe" shelf in my office. On the far left is my collection of Sutliffs and other paper tins, some opened, but usually don't have much of a chance to age because I use them rather quickly, so they don't present a problem. Following those are miniature wooden crates I picked up one after-Christmas sale, figuring they should come useful someday. They did. One little crate holds metal tins (tins that have been opened are in turned stored in a plastic bag), another contains plastic stored baccys, and the last two contain empty medium sized Mason/Ball jars. A crate neatly holds four medium sized jars.
Here's my problem. I simply don't have the room or jars to contain each plastic sample of tobacco; my thought was to store the plastic containers inside each jar, thereby keeping them airtight, and labeling each jar to indicate what it contained. Is this a reasonable solution? Not a very elegant way to store baccys, even a little clumsy, but it's the only thing I can think of. What are your thoughts?
