Small mason jars are not very expensive here. The nice thing is after the tobacco is gone you wash it out , dry it and reuse it.
They last forever if you don't break it. I don't mix any tobacco no matter what. I have found that freezer ziplock bags will keep
tobacco moist for a long time. I've had some for over a year and did not dry out. Long term, jars are the way to go for me.

On the Aro tobacco, flavored cigars are nowhere near the same as Aromatic pipe tobacco. I hate flavored cigars but smoke my fair share of
Aro tobacco. As with anything just because somebody else doesn't like it doesn't mean you won't either. bulk is cheap. Try different ones you may be surprised.

Check Pipes and Cigars and also Cup O' Joes web sites. I have bought quite a bit from both of them.
