Tobacco Glass
Tobacco glass jars are made in a variety of styles and
materials to store and keep tobacco from drying out. Jars can be made
of crystal, plain glass, or acrylics and plastic. Hand blown glass jars
are also a popular choice because of their artisanal value.
Tobacco glass jars are made with a plastic seal designed to lock in
freshness. The seal keeps the air tight and prevents tobacco from drying
out and becoming unusable. Some people prefer to keep the bulk of their
tobacco in a light-proof container because light also plays a dehydrating
role.
Prices for tobacco glass jars vary by material. There is even a market
for antique or estate pieces. Antiques are probably the priciest with
plastic jars being the least expensive.
