What do y'all use for tobacco storage? I'm looking at jumping into the pipe world and am thinking a jar but only because the only pipe smoke I've known, best friend's dad, did the same.

I use glass jars, like jelly jars, with a tight closing lid.

I found something like this
at Wal-mart in 2oz sizes for just under $2 a piece. I bought a bunch of them and the tobacco from the sampler I bought fits in them perfectly.
Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.
Mason pint size jars work quite well. Two of em will hold a pound of tobacco.
Would it be "bad" to keep the pipe tobacco in a coolidor?
Thanks for the tips! I have a bunch of jars in my shop. Now to the tobacco store! Like Guado said, another hobby to sink my money into
What about storing different brands/varieties together? I store all of my aromatics in indavidual ziploc bags, but toss them all in one Stilton jar, is that a bad move?
I keep mine separated. I would guess for aromatics, it's the same theory as flavored cigars mixed in with your real smokes, but you're not doing that.
All your aromatics together in on jar, in individual ziplocks? Probably ok, but then again, jars are cheap, and wouldn't it look cool to have a big line of jars on a shelf like they do at the shops?

My fingers fell, and posted this unnecessary reply.
I'm more intrigued as to why pipe tobacco doesn't need humidified. In my local B&M, they keep pipe tobacco in large jars with firmly sealing lids. Thinking about it, chewing tobacco is usually kept in the same type of pouch - with that whatever-it's-called lining, and chewing tobacco seems moist. I'm guessing the tobacco keeps itself humidified? Who here can answer these inane questions?
While you wouldn't want your pipe tobacco to be on the dash of your car for a month in the sun, it also doesn't need to be 70%ish Rh like cigars.
For example, some black twist that I have, you actually cut it with a scissors, or razor and let it dry out before your roll it into ribbons. Kinda like dry boxing, because it is almost too moist to smoke off the log.
Levi Garrett chew for example, is oily as shit, however elephant butts is dry as shit. I think there is never the anticipation of someone dragging out a sack of chew for a year. Cigars on the other hand, you don't want them to loose their oil over time which is conceivable.
There. There's some answers that may or may not be useful at all.
