Pipe Tobacco Containers = Best ? Suggestions ?

[juozapas]

I just purchased this for $2.oo it is glass with a screw top and it has a window....

Does anybody have any similar or recomendations ??

Very fancy, and the wide mouth top will prove to be convenient for loading a pipe.

I hope it seals well. (I'm a Mason jar guy myself, but your canister looks really neat.)

I just buy some of those cheap glass jars with a rubber seal around the lid, they're like 1.50 a pop at Walmart...
You can see what they look like in This PIcture!

That's a great looking canister Juozapas. Where did you find it?

I'm using glass-on-glass bail top jars.

 

[bubbadreier]

They are in the Kitchen section. They are super cheap and the work amazing!

 

[changojoe]

mason jars are ok!

I was researching this on line a few weeks ago and found an article that said to never re-use a lid with any rubber in its construction if it had been used previously for pickles.Apparently,no matter how well you clean it,the dill flavor always find its way into the tobacco.I must admit that the article was referring to long term storage in regard to my post and interest on tobacco prohibition.

I have been buying those as well Bubba, they work beautifully.

I think we probably need to keep this to ourselves.... The wonderful world of repackaging being what it is, if word gets out that they make great tobacco jars.... well they will jump up in price.

haha I have about 15 of them already Lawrence! I bought them all before I discovered mason jars work better for long term storage!

In a pinch, I've used Smucker's Preserves jars. They hold 2+ oz. nicely and seal well, with no hint of foreign odors.

I've had tobacco dry out when relying on the plastic lids provided with tins; so when I open a tin, I transfer the

contents to a jar immediately.
I've also had good luck rubbing the rim of a tin with wax (bee's or candle), and pressing aluminum foil over it

-- snapping the plastic lid back on over the whole affair. But for me, jars are the way to go, plus, you can see

the contents without opening the container, which is the nice feature of Juozapas' new canister.

For bulk storage, I use wide mouth quart Mason jars. For every day use, I decant tobacco from the Mason jars into these.

This is a 28 oz jar with screw top lid Herself found at one of those Dollar stores. She bought 10 of them for me.

We have "Dollar Stores" here in Barrie,Ontario,Canada.....they have all kinds of containers. I guess, like the other members pointed out, that it's important that it has a proper and good seal. This will ensure its freshness. I like to turn the canister over a few times...just to keep the moisture consistency....works great so far !!

 

[hobie1dog]

off to the Dollar Store on Monday to see if we carry the same thing down in the South.

I think you guys have been sneaking my stash.

Found those jars at my Wally world but here in Jersey they want about 6 a pop for them. Will have to save my pennies(and lay off my pad and tad issues) and pick up a few.

Always looking for old wire bail Mason jars with glass lids in my travels cause they are cool .

 

[bubbadreier]

Duncan, I went looking at Walmart her in Oklahoma and they also what $6 for them... I think I am going to try the Dollar stores in the area. (I don't need it but I want it, and that is all that matters)
