Labels.

[bullet08]

I don't use them. I know it's popular among many smokers But, I only keep ten blends or so open at any time. I believe I'm still functioning enough to remember them. While reading thread about Sun Bear, I knew I had two Lak blends opened, but just couldn't remember them. Just like to let you know, the names came back. Squadron Leader, and Balkan Supreme. Thank God, the noodles are still working. I still don't need labels x)

Recently I had jars with FVF and Brown Sugar Flake with the lids mixed up.
Visually very similar, but when I went to sniff what I thought was FVF I became confused.
Didn't take me long to figure it out.

I usually cut the label off the tin and put it in the jar with the tobacco. I rarely have more than 10 open at any time so - I could go label free if I had to.

I use labels because I will often smoke some and then throw it in the cellar for an undisclosed and undetermined amount of time.

I use labels because I wear a helmet and ride the short bus.

I knew a guy that had to put labels on his shoes. Well actually a big sharpie made R and L. I guess it could be worse is what I am saying.

I don't use labels but I have my cellar which is pretty small set up in accordance with my taste. If it's in the back it's English if it's in the front it's a VA.

For me it's a Brother ptouch label maker. One for the jar and one for the lid. Then I can see the jar from above or the side and know. I use a color dot sticker as well to identify the type like virginia or burley etc. Makes finding a specific type or model much easier in a cabinet with now close to 75 jars of commercial blends and several of my own recipes from straight leaves. My own are dated with recipe ID to keep track of any changes over time.

I don't use them because my cellar only has five jars from as many blends, they all look distinct enough from each other that I can tell which is which. Calling what I have a cellar is generous of course, if I significantly expand it then I'll probably get some labels; duct tape and sharpie at least.

I use labels because... OCD. That jar in the bottom far right is killing me.

The only labels I use is captain black and carhart

I use dissolvable labels, I annotate them with a pen and they wash right off after the jar is empty and ready for repurposing. They can be found here: Amazon.com - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAJWQ2Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used to use my Brother P-Touch to make labels, after a while I got tired of digging it out and it wastes a lot of label material due to how it cuts the labels.

When I was a kid, my Dad was in the Army. At the time, the Commissary (grocery store for the civilians) didn't have labels on any of their canned goods. You hoped that the store worker properly stamped the black ink with the right name on the top of the can. Sometimes there were surprise meals...

Back to pipes - I just have my tins and original jars...no real "cellar" like all the rich people.

If you look up Keen socks, they're woven L-R and marked accordingly. Maybe a Christmas gift for your friend?

A thing of beauty! Don’t look at my cellar, you may have a stroke looking at mason jars with sharpie on the lids.

This is a heck of a cellar!

 

[MattRVA]

I’m definitely a label person.

Part of it but still relatively small.

I have around 220+ blends in jars so yeah, I need them labels.

Glad you can remember all your blends without them though, that's neat I guess.

You can set the margin size (space on either side of the lettering).
On my machine its: Fn-Margin-OK-(choose option). I use “chain print”)
