Does anybody know of a supplier for high density corks? I have ordered from thecorkstore.com, and the quality is poor (especially on the small ones). There are too many holes that make them weak, and they seem to break after a few uses.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for the heads up Tom, I was going to place an order with them today.... I am also in the market for some nice corks for jars...

For what it's worth. I've always liked Glasscrafts cork.

Wow are you getting the ruff corks from the cork store or the cleaned steral corks. I Have allways goten top quality from corks from the cork store "Tapered Corks - Regular Length" are the ones we use.

yeah, the corks i got from the cork store were denser than any corks i've seen elsewhere. i have only gotten the bigger sizes. maybe hard to tell from teh photos but here's one of them..
