An excellent solution! Unless of course you planned it that way...

The hardest part for me was trying to not lose any of the precious baccy!

Hah!

If you intend (and have the willpower) to age that baccy in the jar, filling it nearly to the top is a good idea to reduce air volume inside. After filling I loosely close the lid/band, and dip in hot water (not boiling, just an inch or two of water) for a few minutes. That makes the air inside warm and expandy - remove from bath, tighten it up and in an hour when everything cools down - POP goes the seal button thingie.

I've never been able to buy rope. I saw some in a shop today and it resembled nothing so much as the calling card left by my neighbor's Shi Tzu on my front lawn.

Ya it's pretty rough looking stuff, try to look past that though.

I had SG's Black XX rope before & it almost put me off ropes altogether, I love SG too. I decided to give them another go though, & I have to say this stuff is actually pretty good, takes a long time to prepare though.

Finally got around to updating the list of pictured tobaccos. You'll find them in my first post. Check the list before posting to avoid duplicates.

There are over 70 tobaccos pictured! Great job guys; and let's get it over 100.

Here's Middleton's Cherry Blend- a humble, low-brow, entry to be sure, but one I enjoy as a morning smoke.

C&D Sunday Picnic. My worst photo ever but, what the heck. It's a soft flake, eady to break, fold or rub out.

VA, perique and turkish. What's not to like? 22 reviews and four stars.

OK. Noob question. How do you get the big hi-res photos in your posts? I tried to attach pix but anything over 100kb got spit back, and then I got those little thumbnails that you have to click to get the expanded pic.

Somebody teach me. please.

You need to store the image somewhere on the web (such as photobucket) and then use the image link on the toolbar to insert the image reference into your post.
