Let's See Your Tobacco Jars

[shaintiques]

Here is mine. Got this back when I first started smoking. Thought it looked like Barliman Butterbur from The Lord of the Rings.

This went with some of my Western Collectibles, and cowboy boot pipe stand. From the 1957 Barrel Line from Treasure Craft. Porcelain with copper bands.

Never Sean one with the tamper still intact, had to tie string to the knob as it's a devil to get out when low on tobacco in the jar

 

[shaintiques]

Both very cool!

Here's a Comoy Jar that I have. The lid stays secure with the brass metal works.

I just use canopic jars. They seal really well.

Deathmetal, do you also Walk Like an Egyptian?

Nice jars. My jars aren't worth photographing.

After I read this thread, it jogged my memory. I knew I had an interesting tobacco jar somewhere. I found it in a bookcase, so I dusted it off and here it is. I believe it's from the UK as it's styled like many of their biscuit jars only smaller. It has a leather seal on it which doesn't work all that great, so I chose not to put tobacco in it.

Dear Orley what a pity not to use it for tobacco. Looks great. I have picked up a few wooden tobacco jars in car boot sales. Mostly because the seller didn't have a clue what they were. They didn't have the majic word tobacco on it, which would have put the price up. I got one for .50pence about less than a dollar. Some of mine are not airtight seals in any way, but I prefer my tobacco slightly dry.

Not always expensive. I picked mine up on eBay for $8.

I don't have one but here is one of marge schott!

Again, I think I am funnier than anyone else does...

 

[shaintiques]

Yeah I don't put tobacco in mine either, no airtight seal, but they are still cool and great for storing other things.

I keep the tobacco in a ziplock, but I like to use mine.

Sorry about that, where are you guys hosting your images these days? Dropbox is no longer viable.
