Perfect Tobacco Jars at Hobby Lobby

[lankfordjl]

I thought I'd share these. They are nearly the exact size of a tin (flat and rounded square sides); each holds 8 oz (but probably 4-5 oz of tobacco). The cost was $7.80 for 4 Ball jars. They have a standard wide mouth lid with seal. My idea was to transfer a tin of tobacco into a jar to keep it air tight - I'm slow at using up a tin once I open it (i.e. the tobacco dries out before I get around to finishing it).

Oh...I used the 40% off coupon, which is the only way to buy at Hobby Lobby.

Hopefully the pic works now

Nice!!!
Looks like these jars are also available at Target. I'll have to stop by tomorrow.

Thanks for the great find!

Very cool... thanks for the heads up Lankfordjl.

Those are neat

Wall-mart only had the standard sized ones, not those extra wide ones. I love those though.

I can find them in several variations at Hobby Lobby, and the local Dollar Store. The ones at the Dollar Store are, obviously, a dollar.

Ugh, and I just bought a case of Ball mason jars... Great find, that is an awesome proportion.

Not a bad thing. I use them, too. Will hold about 4 oz. without packing them tight

hmmm I wonder where I can find those in the great white north... I'd be interested in some haha

Nice! Those would make them easier to fill a pipe and not spill every where.

I use these specific jars all the time to move tobacco from one-pound C&D tins to these jars for travel. They are great. I bought mine online. Don't remember where from. But, I have a lot of them. Great for weekend travel and to-and-fro, for the office, where I keep a few full-at-hand all of the time! (Forget that it is illegal to moke my pipe in my insurance agency office which I own!) Please don't turn me in.

That size looks pretty handy, and we just had a Hobby-Lobby open a few minutes from the house. I'll check it out.
Are you saying they will hold 8 ounces of tobacco or a tin (usually 2 oz)? They look pretty small to hold 8 ounces.

Ace Hardware also has the wide mouth jars in 2oz and 4oz.

I saw those a week or so ago and thought the same thing ... but I got distracted and forgot to get them. :crazy:

Indeed. 4oz fit splendidly in them, I've even fit 6oz tightly without a struggle.

I bought a 4 pack of these jars as well. I found them at Walmart.

I think mine were $3.87 or something like that for a 4 pack at Walmart.
