plus, mason jars are designed to keep jam eatable for a few years at most.... not to keep tobacco airtight for decades (which is the kind of timeframe you should be thinking about... it ain't going to get any cheaper, that's for sure, and you can buy a good chunk of a lifetime supply for a grand or so)

Wax also works well too... Someone sent me some of that McClelland Red Cake and the whole outter part of the jar was covered in wax...
