Empty Tobacco Cans

[Searock Fan]

When we have a garage sale I put them in a box and mark it "Free".

Send it back to Peterson and say “fill it back up”!

Use them for screws and bolts, as candleholders or to the recycling bin if they get rust.

I used to have a butt load of them I'd keep in the garage with odd screws and whatnots, but as time went on I couldn't remember what I had in which tins, so I transferred it all to empty glass baby food jars and chunked the tins.

I reload ammo so I use the 100g paint can style cans to store bulk bullets. They're pretty heavy duty and save household ears from lots of swearing when those damn plastic bags tear and scatter $h!* everywhere.

Hi guys. What do you guys do with the empty tobacco cans? Do you guys keep it? I already have two empty cans, don't know what to do with them, I converted my first empty tobacco can into an ash tray with cover.

Good idea. How’d you like the Deluxe mixture?

As I'm an aromatic smoker, I like it a lot. I'm still new in pipe smoking, I'm still trying out other blend, to see what's the difference and see which one i like the most

What blend do you smoke while reloading?

For the moment I keep them. Some cans I have given as gifts to family members who like the vintage style of some brands. I love tobacco pouches, I don't throw them away either. I use some cans to store various utensils. But if I had thousands of cans, like some forum members, maybe I would have to throw some of them away. For those of us who like traditional, antique or vintage, it is difficult to get rid of these mythical souvenirs.

Recycle most, but I love the artwork of Tobacco tins, so I have a couple of each blend.
The way Canada has taken the branding off tobacco is borderline criminal (IMO) and anti creativity.

Canada at the forefront of the extermination of rights and freedoms. It is one of the most ridiculous governments I have ever seen in my life...........

Mostly toss them. I have one that I did the ashtray thing with but that is about it.

Ashtrays. I also use them to store Christmas ornament hooks (and some ornaments). Used DE Razor blades. Other than that, they clutter up my basement.

I actually read an article somewhere about Altoids tins that people turned into sewing kits, survival kits, and even a radio. Don't ask me how they did a radio, but I suppose the sky is the limit if you're imaginative enough. I assume tobacco tins could be used similarly.

Ever wish the War of 1812 had ended differently?

The box from Mac Baren Cube is full of USB flash drives. A tin from Solani Silver is full of guitar picks. Some get pitched.
