Now that I have been collecting more tobaccos and placing then in jars I am starting to get quite a collection of jars. How do I get the jars to stack on top of each other so they are stable. For now I am using drink coasters turned upside-down. I used the search and could not find anything. If there is a thread out please point me to it. I know that there is some genius of there with a great method of handling this problem.

no trick for me I just stack them.

If you're using Ball/Kerr canning jars, they should stack with no problem - the base is tapered in so that it fits inside the ring opening. Of course, if the shelf you're stacking them on isn't level, you might have a problem... :D
If you're using other random jars, no guarantees. The IKEA jars I use for general tobacco storage stack reasonably well, but I wouldn't go more than 2 high with them, as they're not specifically designed to.

place them back in the empty case the new jars came in.

That's been the most stable option for me as well.
