Glass Skull Mason Jars

[Osirus]

Just in time for the Halloween season, I had a few of these delivered today. They are 16 oz and come with a lid with a straw hole in it, but a regular mouth 2-piece mason jar lid fits them for tobacco storage. They are pricey most places, but are $3 each (on sale) at barproducts. com. I might use them for special blends or seasonal blends. They are about an inch taller than the wide mouth 16 oz Ball jars but fit in the same space for storage. These ones are completely clear with no coating, some of the ones online have an iridescent or painted coating that might compromise tobacco storage.

That's pretty neat, I gotta see one of those filled with tobacco. Could you fill one up and show it?

 

[anotherbob]

wow those are cool but are they ethically sourced?

Yeah, I wanted to know myself but you gave me the nudge... filled it with some Old Dark Fired, seems appropriate.

Just as I thought, beautiful!

I'd reserve one of them to fill it up with different tobaccos for display.
Dark tobacco packed behind the eye sockets, bright tobacco behind the teeth (maybe a gold tooth mixed in) and so on. Like those decorative sand filled jars.

That's a cool idea! I actually had ordered a colored/iridescent one first for more ($15) but read the paint sometimes chips and smells- not something desirable for tobacco storage. So I have this one for display and the clear ones for useable storage.

Yeah that's no good. First you handle the jar and get paint flakes on your hand, then you mix them in with your tobacco. One time when I was learning a house-painters job I hastily rolled a cigarette, got a good drag of latex paint that got from my fingers on the paper. You do not want to smoke paint!

Those iradecent jars can flake. Lots of people have them in their offices and it seems like the key is how often they are handled so extra craptastic for tobacco!

I'd have been so disappointed if you hadn't got any, Embers!

Jack Howell actually sent me those after I first posted my Kenan skull pipe.

Just what I need... More paraphernalia.

Had a Crystal Head Vodka bottle in my office at my last job, used it to drink water out of (with a straw). Still have a sealed bottle signed by Dan Aykroyd somewhere.

Already spent all my birthday reserve. Stop tempting me!
