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 )

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)!

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

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! Just yanking your chain, brother. Nice pick ups - ropes are great.

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.

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.
