Would these jars work? I still got a bunch of them... What I'm thinking off is the lid closing mechanism when tobacco ages and expands putting pressure on it. Maybe remove the rubber ring to let air escape a bit?
Ikea Jars

Several people on here use them short term. I only use mason jars just cause that’s what we have around the house
I don't see why not; I have several of the ikea jars I use for storing dry foodstuffs and often when I unclip the wire i need to use a knife to prize the seal away from the jar before they can be opened. So they certainly seal pretty well.
Caveat. I've never used them for tobacco storage simply because I don't buy bulk (not practical when you are buying overseas) and store in the original tins/canisters.

I like these. I find that they clamp very tightly. Maybe that's just mine though.
Those look like they would work. Rubber seals.
I use the Bormioli Fido jars myself, and I have tobacco that's been stored in them for years that's kept well. You could put some tobacco in one and see how it keeps. If it's not all dried out after a few months then you're probably OK.
Not all bail jars are made the same. Some seem to be made for decoration and have cheap plastic seals. They are mainly just made for presentation for certain products and aren't airtight.

Current events. IKEA France is under investigation for a considerable and far-reaching campaign of espionage against its enemies.
^^ right here. A good bale top jar will seal just as well as a ball jar.
good is really the key word. There are some shit bale top jars out there.
I have 15 of them, and keep my Aromatics in them. They work quite well and aren't overly expensive.

Like many others on here, I just use Ball jars, but seriously, go with whatever works. This really is rule #1. I wouldn't bother with Ikea myself, because the last thing in the world I want to be doing with my weekend is trying to decide between a Faltvaad, a Glorfnab, and a Kreulzbleurg.
(note: I cannot use umlauts or those Os with the slash through them, so you'll just have to pretend they're there)

That's easy. Faltvaads are for VaPers unless they also have DFK in them in which case you want to use a Kreulzbleurg. If it's an aromatic then it absolutely should be stored in a Glorfnab, unless it's an aromatic english in which case you want a Kreulzbleurg again. Balkans can safely be stored in either a Kreulzbleurg or Glorfnab, though once they hit about 5y of age then you should really be thinking of transferring them to a Faltvaad or preferably a Pinzelkruf though some people prefer the way the oriental components age in a Kogenburgenhofmuensterkraftwesselsheft. It's really all personal preference though, some people care about their tobacco, some people are just philistines.
OK, my first thought were - the jars arrived broken and you had to assemble them.
I had a 1 gallon "ball" jar arrive in Ikea fashion from an Amazon order... I was going to use it for fermented hot sauce, but it was shattered.
