Alright I just finished a bowl of some house blend Ive got, and as usual I dumped the
ashes in a used altoids container. Im not sure why but I feel like there may be a use for them?
Anyone else do this for no reason or any ideas what to use em for?

Garden. Pipe mud. Natural ice melt.
There is nothing like being left alone again, to walk peacefully with oneself in the woods.
To boil one's coffee and fill one's pipe, and to think idly and slowly as one does it.Posted 3 months ago # -

Give it to the wife after a hair colour to rub on & get rid of the dark coloured bands where skin meets hair, it works wonders for that.

Just smear a little on your face, too, so everyone will recognize you as a pipe smoker.

I dunno bout ice melt but I keep for pipe mud. I have a friend who smokes cigars regularly & he saves his ashes for me too.

for some reason it works really well to polish silver on pipes and other trinkets.

I snort mine. Just take a straw and honk it up. The only down side is I can't tell what food smells like now. Everything smells like burning.

Heh this thread is funny.
I have heard about a method for forming cake, to shake the ashes of the bowl you just smoked around the chamber walls.
But you don't need to keep an ash supply to do this.

I always keep a good amount in a tobacco tin for when the need for pipe mud arises.
Snus, snuff and briar.
Not much more required in a day.

So if you need ashes for mud . Smoke a cigggar and your pipe and make your own . Cant say as I have never had to use it . What I mean to say is how much could you possibly need . Do you store it in quart jars in the cellar or what . I can see it now in stores eveywhere .I digress .

i tend to keep some ash handy, for use in repairing the inside of my bowls, just in case... i will use it for a improperly drilled air hole, meaning the hole is drilled above the heel in the bowl. i will fill the gap between the air hole and the heel of the bowl.

@ igloo
I have an empty SG Brown #4 tin that at the moment is about 1/2 full of sifted pipe ash.Is it really that much of a stretch to want to have supplies on hand when needed?

I keep my grandfathers ashes in jar on the mantle. Does that count??

I wonder what kind of pipe mud Grandpa would make?

In that state, I lovingly refer to him as "dottle"

After I read that I snorted laughing, with a pipe in my gob naturally...and discovered that ash makes a horrible keyboard cleanser.

I have no use either for it. I see some people save huge bowls of the stuff. Mine goes in the garden, grass, or garbage.

I read where you could mix some ash with honey to line the pipe to help form cake.
