Do I cut it into pieces first? What are your experiences?

I coil it right down into the jar. I don't cut it up. Sometimes it breaks on a nail hole. If I have broken pieces I drop those into the center.
(Looks like you bought enough rope to hang yourself :p )
Thanks, that's what I just did with all of them, into one-quart jars with wide mouths. They twisted in just right!Quote:

Nice looking stash! How much did you pay for each?
The finished product:

They were $17.76 for each 4 oz. unit. Got them at 4 Noggins.
I like the Weck brand jars that I buy at Crate & Barrel. They have a separate, reusable rubber seal, and their glass lids are closed by two SS clips. Very good sealing, and very convenient. They come in a range of sizes.
That's what I do - then when I want to slice off a coin or two, I'll turn the jar on its side, pull out a bit over the cutting board (I appropriated Mrs. Bruck's tiny cutting board just for this purpose), then slice.
Side note - some twist tobaccos make pretty good chaw; I think I chew more of it than I smoke.
You owe me a clean pair of draws,bro.Quote:

I bought 4 oz. each: much more than 4 bowls. I need jars to keep them from drying out.Quote:

These ropes are juicy and fragrant, especially the Rum Twist and the Black Irish Twist. Don't know whether to smoke them or chew them.Quote:

Last year I harvested leaves from several Virginia Bright tobacco plants and made them into tight twists. Checked them a few weeks ago, and they've got that sweet sugary Virginia grassy note that says they are aging quite nicely. They've been in wide-mouth mason jars tightly sealed since the day I twisted the leaves (cured in a shed until almost but not quite dry).
As for my Gawith ropes, they are coiled up in jars too, and doing quite fine after years of storage.
