The quantities I'll be working with are pretty small, but I don't have mason/ball jars that small. I think I have 8oz ones. If it's important or advisable, I might just order the tiny jam jars that were mentioned.
If you ask some people there would be a science formula to the amount of space left open in a jar and it might affect the curing process for a consistent result but I say just pack those little jelly jars with as much as you can and twist the lid on

I unloaded a bunch of jars last year and transferred into Mylar to save on space and weight. Ran across two quart jars labeled the same 1 was full the other half full
The tobacco was noticeably darker in the half full but it could have been mislabeled??

If this question was on PSM forum there would already have been a dozen blowhards posting a different "scientific" formula that they 100% pulled out of their rear end and have no idea if it's true or not. There are a ton of theories about aging tobacco and they all seem to work.

I bought a blend that came in a jar. It's packed tight and filled to the top. If I could figure out imgur, I'd post a pick.

Nothing to figure out. Click the "full editor and preview" button near the reply box. Once there click on the "i" button with the green dot and select your picture. The forum software will do it for you

Tried that and it doesn't work for me. I got it once, but for reason I can't this time. :?:

You have to wait till it loads all the way and the image link will load. May take a second. I’m guess you got some Briarworks tobacco?
