Thanks for the heads-up, Gav. I like to keep my in-use tobaccos in these Fido bailtop jars. Target carries them as well. I'll have to compare prices.

Gav, appreciate the heads up! Those hold a better seal when used with clear wrap for a tight seal, very handy👍👍 I ordered these from Walmart and they arrived today, perfect for tobacco’s in my rotation. Made by Ball, they are the wide mouth. Only $5.23 for a package of 4 jars, worth every penny!! No spill or loss of tobacco when filling your pipe over this BIG MOUTH jar👍👍  |

The above named sites do not tell you what the seal is made of (silicon vs. rubber). Something you need to know.

Silicon is my preference...but to be honest I have some bail jars that are tight enough that their rubber gaskets seem plenty tight and sealing properly. But the silicon is definitely my preference.

I always thought that the seal on Mason jobs was silicone, but:
Having read that, I went on the Kerr Mason site, and there are a lot of people that claim to have canned for decades, only to see a high failure rate on the Kerr Mason seals and collapsing lids.
I have yet to hear of any problem with people having tobacco cellar failures.

I was thinking something similar. I would assume there's not the same amount of pressure on the seals from tobacco. |

I've used the bail lid jars for several years now and have not had any problem with them for my "using" bulk tobacco. I use the Le Parfait jars which I get at the Container store. www.containerstore.com/s/le-parfait-french-hermetic-glass-terrines/d?productId=10005560&q=le%20parfait. Since I only have three bulks that I use I've only got 3-750ml jars which hold a little over 8 oz. which is a suficient amt for a "using" 'baccy. I replace the rubber seal once a year and have had no problem with tobacco going stale or dry this way. For long term ( multi-year) storage I use the Ball Mason jars. Has worked for me for well over a decade or two so far !  |

Agree! never speak to the feds And never do something to cause the feds to be looking at you. Reason I gave up on the tobacco cellar on-line. Why give them the information they would like to have. |

Sadly, you don’t have to be doing anything to cause the feds to look at you.
There are a couple videos that have been out for a long time, posted by a law professor and a former police officer on why you don’t talk to the cops.

Thanks for the heads-up, Gav. I like to keep my in-use tobaccos in these Fido bailtop jars. Target carries them as well. I'll have to compare prices. I am also fond of the "Fido" series. A word to the wise: if you live near a "Container Store" location, they have bulk pricing on cartons of Fidos that are much lower than your average restaurant supply shop. |

Agreed on the Wal-Mart shopping. The jars are so much cheaper anyway, there's no shipping charge, and you can ensure that your jars arrive at your house in one piece.
