What's the best way to jar coils of twist tobacco?

[Haebar]

Do I cut it into pieces first? What are your experiences?

I coil it right down into the jar. I don't cut it up. Sometimes it breaks on a nail hole. If I have broken pieces I drop those into the center.
(Looks like you bought enough rope to hang yourself :p )

Thanks, that's what I just did with all of them, into one-quart jars with wide mouths. They twisted in just right!

It's a pound of rope (4 oz. of each)!

Nice looking stash! How much did you pay for each?

The finished product:

They were $17.76 for each 4 oz. unit. Got them at 4 Noggins.

I like the Weck brand jars that I buy at Crate & Barrel. They have a separate, reusable rubber seal, and their glass lids are closed by two SS clips. Very good sealing, and very convenient. They come in a range of sizes.

That's what I do - then when I want to slice off a coin or two, I'll turn the jar on its side, pull out a bit over the cutting board (I appropriated Mrs. Bruck's tiny cutting board just for this purpose), then slice.

Side note - some twist tobaccos make pretty good chaw; I think I chew more of it than I smoke.

So you bought four bowls of rope 'baccy. Why do you need jars? :wavey:

Love Rum Twist and Brown Bogie. So gooooooooood.

I bought 4 oz. each: much more than 4 bowls. I need jars to keep them from drying out.

Depends on how big a bowl you are burning! :pipe: Just yanking your chain, brother. Nice pick ups - ropes are great.

These ropes are juicy and fragrant, especially the Rum Twist and the Black Irish Twist. Don't know whether to smoke them or chew them.

FYI, Black Cherry Twist and Coconut Twist make excellent chaw, Happy Bogie I didn't care for. Rum twist is ok but not as good as Black Cherry. YMMV of course, void where prohibited, taxed or restricted, etc etc...

Oh and don't try and chew a flake of HH Old Dark Fired. Nasty!

Last year I harvested leaves from several Virginia Bright tobacco plants and made them into tight twists. Checked them a few weeks ago, and they've got that sweet sugary Virginia grassy note that says they are aging quite nicely. They've been in wide-mouth mason jars tightly sealed since the day I twisted the leaves (cured in a shed until almost but not quite dry).

As for my Gawith ropes, they are coiled up in jars too, and doing quite fine after years of storage.
