How Many Bowls In a Tin?

I’ve been tracking my smokes for years and using mostly Dunhill Grp 4 size bowls, and pack full to the top and fairly firm, I avg 18-19 bowls for a 50gr tin of ribbon cut, about 21-22 bowls per 2oz tin of the same and slightly less for flake & crumble cake tobacs. The GH & SG flakes seem to yield slightly fewer bowls yet / I imagine due to the density. Oh, and I rub everything out fully.
How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll?
Flip! My 10 JPS blacks behind the bike sheds only cost me 52p back in the early ‘80s ??
Which is why for us "heavy users"... a tin lasts about a week, give or take a day.
I’ve been smoking a pipe for a little over 10 years and I have zero clue how many bowls are in a tin.
I’ve never thought about it and now I care even less.

Pack your pipe like you normally do. Weigh it. Divide 50g by the weight of your pipeful. That's how many bowls you'll get from a tin.
Right?
I've usually got two or three open at a time. I know a tin lasts me roughly a week. I've never counted how many bowls I've gotten out of one.
I think this was a good question. I have a preference for smaller pipes, as my available time to smoke is often limited. I'm sure that if I were to count, I'd get around 25 bowls for every 2oz, but that's mere conjecture from me.
if you stick a stem into the side of the tin you can make it into one large bowl.
Last count, I got 26.45632 bowls out of the last tin. Shame as I was really hoping for 27 bowls.
I think the tobacco companies are ripping me off a bit............

Never had that kind of patience as a kid. I just gnawed into the center.
You should credit Jeffrey Dahmer when you quote him.
You guys are doing it all wrong. As tins are round, you need to get pi (?) involved somehow. Don't ask me though, as I seem to have lost most of my math skills over the years.
Pi? What about cake? Now I have to ream the bowl to remove cake and calculate the pi. Don’t get me started on the meringue equation.
How many flakes are there in a tin? I'm guessing there are some variables like flake size, thickness density etc.
