Roll up pouches, for me last weeks, as long as it isn't a car baking in the sun.
Only time I use it is when doing errands or trips.

Creative Alternatives to Ziplock Bags for Daily Amount?

I have lots of random ziplock bags, tiny Tupperware, old rectangular tins, and other various containers, but my current favourite is this little oval tin from a dollar store that my 14 year old daughter drew a dragon on for me:
Good re-use idea - every little helps the planet!
I use empty pipe tobacco packets for loose tobacco and storing clay pipes that have been smoked.
I won't be reusing the bubble wrap Marconi wrapped my baccy in when I next sell books etc, don't want the to stink of pipe baccy!
When I sell books, CDs / DVDs etc online, I always re-use packaging from parcels I've had delivered, bubble wrap, carrier bags etc. It all adds up!
that's some talent! keep encouraging her art!
I use the prison purse.
3 tins and a churchwarden!

This looks like a 21st Century Popeye!
It reminds me of the Superman anti-smoking adverts:
No, but you still have dirty pipe cleaners, Q-tips, paper towels, or whatever you clean with.
I broke my clay trying to clean it, so I'm currently pipe-less!
Depends on where you live, (humidity level) and how thick is the bag.
Simplest is to slip the bag into another one and roll it up. And get a higher quality bag or two. It'll keep for a long time, unless you're in the desert.
You can put your location in your Profile—(please!—because people will forget!) and which will save questions in the future as to where you live when you later mention local stores, weather, tobacco prices, availability, regulations, location of photos, etc., etc..
Under your avatar, (top right, left most of three symbols) you choose "Account Details", which brings up "My Account". "My Location" is halfway down. Whatever you're comfortable with- town, city, county, state.
I reuse the empty amphora pouches. I wouldn't mind a nice leather pocket carry case though.
It took me a few years to begrudgingly admit that the modern conveniences of a bic lighter and a ziplock bag are just more practical for me right now than anything more romantically appropriate to the ye olde hobby.
Filling a pipe, while setting on a parkbench... from a rolled up ziplock bag is just begging for the police to walk up and start asking questions.
I just pack a few pipes and carry them in a small pipe bag. If I am going out with just one pipe to smoke multiple bowls from the same pipe, I put the tobacco in a small square/rectangle tin. They fit in the breast pocket of a sports coat very well. Or, in the breast pocket of my overalls if I am out working in the field.
But, if we are getting creative here, my ears are the perfect size for one bowls worth of tobacco. Plus, if I keep tobacco in my ears, I don't have to listen to the loud stereos on the motorcycles riding by. Lately, we've been inundated by loud stereos on bikes. I don't get it. Why not just wear earbuds? I mean... if they are going to turn it up so loud anyways, it doesn't help with being able to hear traffic any better.

Damn that.. We pay those guys. They can go find something to do.
Sometimes, we are the "something else to do." If they harassed anyone else, they also have paid the officers, so... Yeh.
When I used to roll cigarettes, I had to hand the officer my cig to sniff quite a few times. I don't mind being questioned, but why not just put the tobacco in something else to keep the dogs off.
