Jar fetish

[Anthony_Joseph]

After diving head first into the pipe world, I absolutely live the tins they come in, and the jars I transfer them to. I absolutely have a jar fetish. Anybody have a place they purchase above average storage jars? Or something odd? Can you possibly store tobacco in a jar with a cork? Or will it eventually dry out?

I've been thinking about getting a nice jar to use to hold a couple of sticks that I'd be smoking with a few days. I have a Tupperdor right now that's working far better than I could have hoped for but I am pretty certain my wife wouldn't want me to keep it in a place of prominence in the living room (can't, for the life of me, imagine why though). So, a jar might fit into the decor perfectly.

I am thinking about cruising around on Etsy and, if that doesn't work, get a plain glass jar and have it etched (either do it myself or take it somewhere). My wife has some beautiful jars from a trip overseas several years ago but the lids don't seal nor are the tall enough.

I'm not a pipe smoker but I assume that the need to have a lid that seals tightly is just as important?

Yep airtight!

Second Hand stores, Goodwill, Salvation Army and the like.
I've found some cool stuff there...
And always garage sales, auctions, etc.

I checked out Etsy. Man, if you are looking for nothing but painted mason jars, that's your place. Otherwise, steer clear...

Check out this site. I just found it and some of it looks promising.

I have no affiliation with it

Mason has brought back their blue glass jars if your looking for a change from clear glass.

My wife went out shopping today and picked up a clear glass canister that's about 7" in height and has a swing lid that seals. Perfect for what I was looking for and she paid $5.

I am familiar with those types of mason jars. They are great to store sticks in, as well as pipe tobacco if you're enough of a hoarder to have that much!
