Fair points. I just prefer the idea of snuff arriving in the post all ready to stick in the fridge without having to bother about Mason jars. Perhaps I’m just being selfish.
And lazy 
I’ve bought quite a lot of bulk from Roderick and store it in glass jars. No problem, stays fresh for ever !!
@OscarWabbit: Instead of making another post directly after your first, please edit the post, it helps keep the thread a little cleaner.
I thought the idea of bulk was to save as much on packaging as possible. Empty bag into jar. Pretty easy.
@cstokes4 soz. Fair enough. Perhaps I need to get my head around using Mason jars.
I appreciate the savings with bulk bags and I don’t have any problems with transferring them to a good solid jar with a tight seal. Tubs can be a bit leaky sometimes and I’ve had a couple arrive cracked as well. I would like to find some old timey ceramic jars to put them in. Just adds to the experience, IMO. 
@OscarWabbit: thanks! +1 on the ceramic jars, pottery prices sure have gone up lately. Mason Jars are the best bet, even better than plastic tubs. If it is good enough for food, it is good enough for snuff.
Ok. This is why I’m a member here - to be better informed about snuff. I’ll go out tomorrow in search of Mason jars.
@Bodger: do a search on ebay for “Snuff Crock” Bulk snuff used to be sold in earthenware crocks. Weyman and Demuth are pretty common names. Sometimes the antiques can be quite expensive. Demuth actually still makes replica ones. I would not trust them for actual storage though.
@cstokes4 - Yes that is the one! I have a large one for storing tobacco, works perfect with humidification crystals, had it for three years now. I have bulk snuff and 15 pounds of tobacco leaf for the wife’s smokes in there all the time, I have found it to be a great system with little maintenance. The smell of moist tobacco laden air when opened is wonderful. And oddly enough I have a small one that keeps the dog food perfeclty fresh also. These things are virtually indestructible, I use one on my boat to keep as a ditch bag.
Pretty affordable as well!
@ Xander: Thanks, I’ve tried “Snuff Jar” but I get other things as well with that one.
Amazing how this thread took off! I can see wanting a more substantial package for snuff, but tubs just cost more and are fragile, and glass is the best container of all, nobody would ship snuff in that. I found that the smaller 260 gram tubs from Wilsons are nice, but needs a gasket still. The softer plastic of the 450 gram tubs works well with a vacuum sealer, they collapse and there is no remaining air pocket. I use an excess length of bag which allows me to decant and reuse the same bag again in the sealer, my two year old Queens extra strong seems as fresh as I received it. All of my bulk snuff has remained in great shape over time. Nice thing about Mason jars is the ability to choose one to fit the amount of snuff and keep the air space to a minimum. I use the mason jar adapter that came with the vacuum sealer and get a negative pressure seal every time. Learning to store snuff is time well spent IMHO.
@Bodger - are you a true Bodger? I have several friends who are! They are rebuilding a trebuchet at the moment. They were part of the Timber framers guild who built the Treb in Scotland for the PBS segment. Crazy bunch of guy’s, one is a snuffer. One is a full time Bodger who has a sapling lathe in the forest.
I am not a Mason, but I have used and/or buried a couple of their jars. You’ll notice the Mason Jars selling cheap here soon in the Spring and Summer. Roderick is keeping his prices down for us. AND a plus…I have seen plastic containers of snuff arrive to a person totally smashed (Remember a photo of OTD 's shipment!!) That will NEVER happen with a double-bagged snuff shipment. Speaking of “double-baggers”, it’s been a long time since I’ve had one… Hate to say Oscar, but almost everything you buy was once either wrapped in plastic on a skid or split out and rebagged from a bulk shipment. It’s the ways of this ol world.
I’ve taken heed of the advice in the latest storage thread and treated myself to 5 small jars of Marmite, I’ve been having Marmite on toast for breakfast and supper for the last 3 days now. Luckily my girlfriend claims she fell in love with me because I’m eccentric so she hasn’t even batted an eyelid at my new Marmite habit. When I’ve consumed the contents I’m going to store some bulk WoS Camphor and Mild in them. At this rate in about 3 months time I should have enough Marmite jars to store all my bulk favourites.
Now THAT is dedication. I’m not hardcore enough to take down 5 jars of marmite for the sake of my snuff!
@Bart, I recently had a “double-bagger” and it was outstanding! Kinda like a moped…fun to ride…until your friends see you on one!
LOL Rans!, that’s one of my favorite jokes,haha!
