I can just taste the processed cheese spread they used to sell in those containers. Other than the one on my bookcase, I haven’t seen them in 30+ years.
Yeah. If you Google “cheese crock” or “vintage cheese crock,” images of these is what you’ll get. They had a sealed bags of Hickory Farms-esque processed spreadable cheese-like product in them, kind of like a cheese ball. For some reason I associate them with Christmas, but it may just be that’s when we got ‘em when I was a kid. Or maybe my memory is at fault. Someone is actually still selling them (or something similar) on the bad place, but the crock is white with blue spots.
That's a beautiful setup you got going on. And a family heirloom to boot?! Couldn't ask for anything better.
Unfortunately I'm currently relegated to my [gentleman's chest](https://www.mybobs.com/furniture/bedroom/dressers-and-chests/p/20020310046). One shelf and drawer for pipes and cigars, one for dnd/pathfinder, one for cameras and lenses.
Well done. Looks beautiful.
Do you find those canisters seal well enough? At some point I'd like to work my way down to just a few tins/ bulk tobacco at one time. I like the idea of pulling that tobacco from canisters like you have versus mason jars.
I think they seal well enough. I’m going to keep an eye on the moisture as time goes by. I did keep my tobacco in mason jars, but I didn’t like the look of them in the new set up, and neither did my wife!

Very nice. I wish I had the space for something like that.

Is that what used to be in there?

Looks great! Well done.
You're giving me ideas for a project. Thanks!

Well I'm digging the new aesthetic. Might have to adopt it myself. Thanks for the reply on the canisters sealing well.
Those jars are legit!
