Tins for your own tobacco?

[ZeroContent]

I don't know if you boys have discovered something I haven't or if you are just nuts, but what's wrong with sticking the leaf in a mason jar and tightening the lid?  Been working for me for quite a long time.

It's more the shape of the container than the actual container itself. Like i said, I'd like to make my own plug for whole leaf tobaccos and the straight side containers like they use at C&D and McClelland are better shaped for storing a block.

Kevin you aren't into textual criticism on ancient manuscripts are you?  I know they also assume the hardest must be the correct.

No, I come from a long line of chronically curious engineering types, and the idea that no procedure is so simple and perfect that minor adjustment can't improve it is in my DNA. Besides, if I couldn't tinker I'd be bored. Pipe smoking is considered the passtime of the thinking man, ain't it? Well, that's something to think about :x
