Car Emergency Tin and Pipe?

[Medy]

Just wondering if anyone keeps a spare tin/pouch in their car along with a pipe. Just in case you would forget yours. Been thinking of getting a cheap cob pipe to keep in the car, but was wondering on the tobacco. How would you store it so it would weather the temp changes? Would it be your go to or something like an aromatic cause of the moisture content? Just wondering.

Considering I would leave tobacco in the car for months without using it I have decided to forego any idea of storing something in the car. If I didn't bring it with me, I'll just do without.

I used to keep a pipe and a jar of tobacco in my truck. Everything was fine until winter came. After the tobacco was exposed to extended cold temperatures, it lost all of its flavor.

I keep a small canvas mail bag with a 1911, 3 Mags, Leatherman Multi Tool, Surefire, Binos, Small Bills, Bic Lighter, Sunglasses and a Tin of Capstan Blue along with a Pipe in each vehicle. Never leave home without that bag!

if you do it should be something that holds up. But it seems like a pain. Now a cob or some cheap pipe for back up is great. Not to get morbid but you go out and a random falcon steals your favorite briar right out of your mouth.... At least you still have a pipe.

You might use a screw top tin 2 oz. I bought a case of 48 cheap on AMZ. Id be worried about the heat damaging a nice pipe so I would just use cobs and aros which never dry out. There are several good ones out there but your flavor prefs would apply here. I've never had a need for this since pipe smoking for me is environmental as well as timely. I smoke at the same times and places in sunny weather. Temp range from 25f ish to 85f ish.

The car is my normal spot so I've got 6 car pipes (cobs and Boneses) and 4 pocketjars at all times.

I don't "store" tobacco anywhere. An opened tin rarely lasts out the week and I keep three to five blends open and available. I buy to smoke not to have it sitting around for weeks at a time.

I would think a pocket jar and inexpensive pipe would generally work unless exposed to temperature extremes.

Back in the day, after some trial & error I ended up keeping two pouch tobaccos, Captain Black and Amphora, in a small hard case six pack cooler, with a couple of cobs, tampers etc. on the floor of the back seat. That worked out very well for me. Neither tobacco seemed to suffer from heat or cold!

I keep a Dunhill billiard in my glove box with an ever changing tin of tobacco but I've got several pipes in my desk, locker, and tool bag at work with various jars of tobacco.

I usually have 3 to 6 pipes (mostly cobs) and a couple small Mason jars of tobacco in my work truck for smoking on the road. I did have one vulcanite stem lovat turn itself into a custom bent by leaving it on the dash on a hot summer day. Also if you keep tobacco in your vehicle, you will need to have it in something airtight or it will dry out very fast in the summer. I have used this effect to advantage with some tins that I felt were over moist, but you have to be careful it is easy to forget and over dry!

I keep a clay pipe in the car in an eyeglass case along with a tamper. It is impervious to temperature. I still need to remember tobacco and a lighter.

Always a pipe and a sealed tin of an English tobacco in the boot/trunk. And lighters, BiC and Old Boy always in the front console.

 

[ak2000]

A couple of cobs and a couple of mini jars in the EDC bag left in the car.

Tobacco but no pipe, maybe I should add a pipe?

Tobacco but no pipe, maybe I should add a pipe?

Yes, topping idea!

I should have mentioned, when I leave the house a pipe is usually clenched in my maw. My gear bag usually has a couple of tins in it and there is usually one on the dash or in the center console.

Usually have a pouch of Capt. Black Royal in the car. But I don't keep pipes in there. It gets rather hot down here.

I keep my Brylon Yelo Bole straight apple in the console, a big box of matches, my non stainless CSEZK tool and a cleaner or two in the car. Also, a leather pouch with leaf.
I have these for emergency as I typically bring a pipe on short trips and more for durations.
My first and only drug store purchase of Captain Black white stayed in the car in FL during the summer and never lost its moisture. I try not to leave a butane lighter in the car, because I'm concerned it might blow up in the Florida heat.
