Anchorage is going through a cold spell that’s keeping the temperatures around or a little below zero at my house – too cold to be out smoking a pipe for my sensibilities. Even my dog is happy to stay inside lately.
Since I only smoke outside and that’s on hold, I took the opportunity to upgrade the storage of some of my tobacco blends. Most of my smaller amounts are in zip-lock bags stored in a Tupperware container with a Boveda packet. I like empty yeast jars as they are made of sturdy tinted glass, have a great rubber seal on their metal lids, and since I do a lot of baking, we go through plenty. They are a perfect size when I don’t need a full sized canning jar.
Below is my current crop of re-labeled jars. I’ll need three or four more to finish the project. The smaller amounts of blends I have (1 or 2 ounces) can stay in their zip-locks in the Tupperware until they get used up. Most are old Sutliff codger blend matches and once they are gone it will be only fond memories.
Anyway, the cold has put a damper on burning the stuff, but at least I can still mess around with it.
