Here are some containers from Uline that seem to be suitable for storage of shredded tobacco. For pipe blends, the smaller sizes are ideal. (Uline offers even smaller sizes for tiny batches.) For cigarette shred, the larger sizes are probably more convenient. Although I've cited only products from Uline, similar containers are available from other vendors, such as US Plastics, though the Uline prices seems to be a bit lower. Different vendors may allow the purchase of smaller quantities.
Some members use large glass canning jars, which may be less expensive at a local store, but they do require care to avoid breakage when stacked.
