    Question How to store samples?

    So I just ordered 15 or so 1-oz bulk samples of many different types of pipe tobacco from P&C. Don't really want to have 15 mason jars with an ounce sitting in the bottom of each. Do I just leave 'em in their bags? Should I put the bags in a bag? Should I throw a Boveda or two in somewhere?

    I keep mine in a tall canning jar based upon types. Aeros in one, VA's in another, Lats in another.

    Or you can get small canning jars to keep them in. The Jelly size wide mouth are fantastic in my opinion.
    ...A bad situation can be made better with a pipe/cigar in your hand...

    I jar according to the pouch note, those that smell similar in one jar.But, if you're looking for purity, I would place them in another baggie the jar them together.Or you could get 15 pipes and start smoking more,,,

    I do this, but with Sterilite containers rather than jars (just a matter of preference)

    Nothing beat glass jars with air tight lids, If you know someone with a baby those baby food jars make for excellent free storage. Just keep them in a dark cool place.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I bit the bullet and got some 8 oz Kerr jars and a couple of bail top jars. They actually don't take up as much room as I thought they would.

    I thought the smallest sizes were 12 oz.
