Jaridor
I was thinking about getting an acrylic jar humidor for my desk at work - sometimes I like to burn one on the way home. Then I remembered that I have a box of quart jars in the basement.
Voila
Threw in a few sticks (robustos & shorter toros and torpedos - churchills won't fit), 65% Boveda pack, and a cutter. Problem solved!

Indeed so Most indeededly
Nice, I'm a big fan of Jaridors, it's all I have so far. I bought the 2 bigger one's at a local grocery store but have been picking up the smaller one's at the dollar store. They're great for smaller sticks (I think I can fit anything up to about 4.5-5") and they have some a little smaller that work nice for pipe tobacco.

I use acrylic jars for overflows, for sticks I am not sure I want to put in my wineador, and for cigars in my office. I have one that I added a 2 pack boveda holder to with some felt strips to keep it in place that worked particularly well.

Just be careful about longer term storage in glass because light degrades tobacco. For short-term, no issues.

Nice, simple, we like.
That's what I got the jars for in the first place - pipe tobacco bulk storage. You can jam 6 or 7 oz of ribbon-cut into a quart jar. I jammed a whole pound of Pirate Kake into a quart jar as well - it's pretty dense.

My solution for that is to wrap the interior with that thin sheet of Spanish cedar you get in between two rows of sticks in some boxes. Works great.

Mine are just in the windowless office in the basement, light gets turned on for a couple minutes each day as one lucky jar gets a little lighter. So still not ideal but not overly concerning.

That's a good idea - think I'll steal it!
