I've found these containers made by Good Grips.

You put the lid on and then push down on a valve that pulls a gasket and plate shut. They advertise it as an airtight seal. I'm thinking these things may be good for short term storage.
I wish they made more rectangle versions. http://www.oxo.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpSc...4&respid=53057

Anyone try them yet?

For short term storage, those would work just fine, but dont fret over an "airtight" seal, especially if you are not in a bone dry climate. IMO, the best for short term storage is a big ziplock bag. Ive kept smokes in a ziplock for close to a year and they did not become overly dry (although they did lose some moisture) Add a small humidifier or one of those boveda packs to a plastic bag or any other container and you are good to go (short term)
