Not as cool as Chris's over-the-door hanger but got it organized so mylar bags aren't falling out on me every time I open the door.
Just gotta fit the 1.5lbs of Wilke on the way.

When I receive a pound of tobacco i usually transfer to 1 pint jars. I've been stuffing 2 or 3 jars with as much as I can fit in them, usually 4-6 oz each. Whatever is left goes in a jar loose. Should I be packing these jars that full or leave a little room for air in the tobacco?

Leaving some air in the top can help "kickstart the fermentation" if that's what you want. You may not want that with an aromatic. The second video talks about opening jars during aging and stoving.

I sterilize my jars, put on sterile gloves, pack it in so tight i can hardly seal it, and i may get some heat for this, but i place it on a shelf in my office that gets fairly warm during the summer and cold in the winter. Occasionally ill pop a tin and have a taste.

I put as much as I can but the majority of my stash is flakes. Ribbon cut, 4 - 6 oz seems about right in the pints.
