As in lets say I bought a pound and had a smaller smoking jar 1 oz or some similar and it was to get empty is there anything wrong with opening it and refilling or does opening effect the aging process adversely

What I meant was I buy a pound of tobacco, and take over half of it (10-12oz) and put it in a large jar for long term cellaring. I then take the remaining 4-6oz and split that tobacco up in smaller mason jars, usually 1oz or more, so that I can open a jar periodically and not spoil the larger mason jar.

You will. Best thing I did was buy a nice large rubber maid container and I just place everything in there and keep it in my closet. But now I have two, one for tins and one for jars...

Wal-Mart or Target sells a glass jar with a rubber seal at the top. I find these are nice for keeping tobacco. They also look nice. I usually open a tin and store it in a jar. These are kept on my desk. rX has a ton of them, check some of his pictures of his stash.
