These have a few advantages over glass bottles--first, authenticity. While the very twee little bottles I got don't stick out too badly in my kit, these all-wood bottles hold up far better to close scrutiny than perfectly clearr, perfectly cylindrical soda glass. Second, I usually store my spices with my food, and those bottles make me nervous. Glass shards in my oats is a little more piquant than I'm looking for in the morning.
The downside, of course, is that the cylinders are opaque, which makes it a lot harder to tell what's in them...so I had to label them! I decided on Cirth, it being much easier to execute with a woodburner. "Salt" was easy--sing in Sindarin. Other spices required some creativity. There's no extant Sindarin word for tarragon, but another common term for the herb is dragon, which translates quite easily. Likewise, there's no extant word for the culinary sage, but there is one for lore-master.
Trans-lingual puns are the best puns.
