Here is a link but they are way overpriced. Try save-a-lot if you have one close.
Those two section lids are the worst for tobacco, IMO. They are designed for pressure canning, and the ring applies absolutely no tension to the lid. If you go to a canning website or forum, the company will tell you this themselves.
The one piece lids with a seal are far superior, because tightening those will tighten the seal. And, you can get those from the same bulk site above that I posted.

I’m in the same boat, man. Got bags of D&R and Sutliff that need jarred, and some tins of C&D blends I’d like to try, but don’t have jars for them once popped.
Around here, you can also find the jars and lids at Shaws Supermarkets as well as Hannaford.

Kerr are really good, at least they have always worked for me.

KERR
A Brief History of Kerr Mason Jars The Kerr Glass Manufacturing Co. began in Portland, OR in 1904. Though it was not actually a manufacturer at its inception, Kerr offered the 'Economy' brand of mason jar produced for them by the Illinois-Pacific Glass Co.. The Kerr name first appeared on...

The Chinese have the habit of showing utter contempt for civility much less consumer laws to increase profits.
They added formaldehyde [melanin] to baby formula to trick testing into registering higher protein levels.
Too bad that it killed dozens and injured thousands of babies.
Companies like Mattel reject toys regularly that have been painted with lead.
Chinese textiles are treated with formaldehyde [they love that stuff] to decrease wrinkling.
When my boy was little I even noticed that formalin [formaldehyde] was an ingredient in Chinese made baby shampoo. I mean, ffs, what is wrong with these people?
Just a few examples that should be sufficient enough warning not to buy anything that's Made In China.
Their mason jars are probably sprayed with Chinavirus and designed to shatter after one years use [And it's probably a safe bet that formaldehyde was used somehow in it's manufacture - they think that shits gold]
I'd go with the mylar bag suggestion before I'd trust anything from China.
I boil the jars prior to refilling. Same as canning vegitables.
I didn’t realize Ball/Kerr are no longer made by Ball.

Probably China now too....
History of Ball Mason Jars
The Mason jar is one of the most iconic products of all time, few people know the history behind the ageless invention.

I use Ball, Mason and Kerr. Sorry to hear of the shortage in your area. The stores here are stacked with them. Even WalMart.
Crazy.. I was in a nearby larger town today.. nothing there either, not even lids.
My recently excessive TAD has caused me to need more jars and I’m in the same situation here. No jars 
. I do have Mylar bags that I‘ll use if I can’t find jars. Amazon seems to charge a lot for their jars and I can’t pull the trigger going that route right now.

About 50 bucks for a flat.. but hey, the shipping is free. Plus you might have a couple of broken jars after the postal workers drop kick the box a few times.
If you have a ace hardware in your area try their. That’s where I got some lids the last time I needed something else and they had them so I picked them up. Never have enough lids as i home can meat in the pressure cooker.
Exactly and knowing my luck it would come that way. Guess everyone must be doing COVID canning ??
WalMart here is showing (in stock) for pick up $9 for 12 pint, $12 for 6 qt. To ship is crazy expensive. Try WalMart and use the availability filter to see the nearest store to you with stock. Try Lowes and Home Depot too. Local hardware\home and garden might have them.
I checked two Walmart stores, and Lowes. That was in Dothan, AL. My wife says they don't carry as many during the winter, because there's less canning being done. I guess everybody and his brother has something he's trying to save in jars anyway.
Lowes acted like they have never carried them.. I never went and picked those up at Dollar Tree, but I will tomorrow.
If you have to drive out of town for jars, come on up here. Get a trunk full of jars and we'll go to D&R. I live 15 minutes away from them.
Gas is cheap.. It'd be a cool trip. I'm a big fan of Andy Griffith, are you near Mayberry or Mount Pilot?
