    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?

    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.

    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.

    Maybe for those who cellar in mason jars.
    Many inexpensive options on Amazon, e.t.c.

    Soon as the hockey game is over I will send a picture of my wife's. It was $54 but seals regular and wide mouth bottles. Been working great on the herbs she grows.

    She loves it. Had another one that was less expensive but didn't always seal and couldn't do wide mouth jars. She has used this for 2 year and couldn't even tell you how many herbs she grows for cooking and for medicinal reasons.

    Thought that my draw attention. Funny thing is, we share no bad habits. She like as salad, I like half done steak. She likes making apple cider and grape juice, going to refrain from comment here. She like k-3 kids in school, Always liked the ones that were on probation. Yes hers are actually herbs and for health reasons. Man we are so different .
