Divesting of my Mason Jars

[Hovannes]

Well, nearly all my favorite bulk blends have been discontinued, tobacco has become so expensive that ordering by the pound puts a hitch in my financial get-along anyway and I don't smoke nearly as much as I used to, so keeping two or three tins on hand is my new norm.
All of my Mason jars are now empty except for one, still full of a blend that ages very nicely, and which I hope to tap into soon.
I've had my current collection of Mason jars about twenty years now.
Is it normal to get sentimental over empty old Mason jars?

I don't know if it's normal, but it's certainly a sad situation.

Not sure about getting misty over old mason jars, but sure miss warm weather.

It's time to start canning.

we're so spoiled. We have choice and even the brick and mortar price we pay for quite smokable stuff is really quite amazingly cheap for what you get out of it. And if you buy in bulk it's incredible. I smoke more then I drink coffee and I spend more on that crap in a month (if I consider how much I spent on what I actually smoked, estimating up too). You know the thing is tobacco and pipe tobacco especially is a luxury item. Looked at that way the only reason people could complain about prices is because we've all been spoiled. That said I would love to be spoiled even more so.

if where you are is getting weather like here then make sure you go out tuesday when it will be warm. Stay home the next day if you don't want extremities to fall off.

Wise man you are!

Well it is sad but nothing to get your shorts in a bunch.

Whenever you start feeling sorry for yourself over the price of tobacco, take a look at the prices here in the wonderful Land of Oz.
You don't know how good you have it over in the States still. Appreciate what you have.

You do know your dollar is worth nearly half again what the U dollar is worth?

I think you're converting the wrong way. I just looked it up and their AUS $1 can be bought with .71 of ours.

Based on the title, I was thinking you were divesting of FILLED Mason jars. Filled with tobacco. And you needed recipients.

Like another poster said, can some food. Jars won't go bad and our supply chain interruptions may not be entirely over with?

Cheers.

The only thing I can complain about is my favorite bulk blends being discontinued.
Everything else is just details and could be worked around.

 

[warren]

Brain fart!

Yep. Tell me about that
Sucks when I'm buying anything outside of Oz - tobacco, pipes, booze, shoes, books, you name it.

I always smoke my older stuff over my fresh stuff. Keep smoking the new stuff and then smoke the older stuff once you are done with the fresher stuff.

Time to find a nice tinned blend!

I've been exploring GL Pease blends lately.

Yes, to your question.
