Just wondering how anyone else fills their pipes without wasting excess tobacco or making a bit of a mess. Perhaps you just reach into your jar, perfectly pinch the right amount and fill the bowl without dropping any?
Pretty much, yes. It usually takes a few pinches. It's not too hard to drop it straight into the bowl. We aren't exactly threading a needle here.
Or do you make a filthy mess, waste tobacco, and don't notice since you wear bifocals and don't see so well anymore LOL?
I don't worry about tobacco dust or tiny scraps here or there, as I'm not a penny pincher, and I don't mind wiping off my pipe tray when it gets a tad bit messy.
