I'm still relatively new to this hobby so packing is probably not a stable variant as yet, but I've been getting 15/16 bowls per 50g tin of ribbon cut.
How many bowls from a 50g tin?

This is what I did and got between 3-4 grams on a very specific pipe bowl. So that'd be about 15 bowls. But I sometimes I do half a bowl, and sometimes do different pipes with smaller bowls so...To be pedantic -
Fill a bowl with your chosen tobacco.
Empty it and weigh.
Divide 50gms by that figure, and
Voila - you have your answer.
Simple. And not exactly rocket science
Now if you'll excuse me, I have more pressing matters to cogitate
Like deciding which tobacco(s) to smoke this afternoon

Unless one's scale is really accurate, weighing just one bowl could give misleading results. Better to weigh at least two or three bowls' worth together and take the average before proceeding.
Yep.
One of those questions like "how long is a piece of string ?"
So many variables
Don't forget your Towel!!
I figured someone else would beat me to the old "How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Roll Pop".
About 15 per tin for me.
I smoke about 80% to ash and dump about 20% dottle

You will get around 15-18 bowls per tin if you’re using group 5 pipes. I almost exclusively smoke small/medium pipes and usually get around 20-25 bowls per tin.
