Ball jars

[August_West]

Hello fellow pipers! I was at Target today and saw they had 4 packs of Ball canning jars, but they are the regular classic size jars. One size is about half the size of the regular jars (1 pint). The other size are even smaller at 8 ounces. Does anyone use these smaller jars? The 8 ounce jars seem like a nice size for breaking up tobacco into several jars so that you can sample it after 6 months, 1 year, etc. without breaking the seal. In other words, you could have several jars aging at the same time rather then one big jar. Anyone have any input or experience with these?
Happy smoking!

Ive found it very imformative :thumbs:

Edit to Say: I really liked the idea of"bands/lid dipped in paraffin after sealing"

I use the small 4 oz. wide mouth jars quite a bit. They hold 2-3 ounces very nicely. I also use the 8 oz. wide mouth jars for larger quantities. I like to separate my tobacco into smaller portions so I can break into some without disturbing the aging of the rest.

My wife has a Ball Jar she's kept mine in since we got married. I can ask her where she got it... :sign:
