In Need of a Portable Tobacco Tray/Plate Thing

Didi- This one?

I have an olive wood plate I bought in Italy. But that can't compete with Kiel's flake plate, really beautiful !

I bought a small square plate from Target for under $2. For on the go I just folded up a piece of paper to use in a pinch.

I use a plate that I turned from a ceader fence slat to dry and rub out my Flakes. I can also put it in my pipe bag when I go out. Actually I have 3 of these. While turning them each is a bit different.

Do a search for leather valet or serving trays. You should be able to find something that fit the bill.

You'd be surprised what you can find at the Goodwill. Ours is full of old/antique serving trays, platters, plates, etc.

I also know someone who works at a high school and he hooks me up with small bowls that kids make and do not want to take home. I have found that a small clay bowl that has not been glazed works really well for drying tobacco. My theory is that the clay is able to absorb moisture like a paper towel would.

I use a small wooden plates for the office and shop. For travel and something small, why not use the lid of flake tin such as vanilla flake? It's small, and has a lip, I've used lids lots of times when packing a pipe, it's probably the most common thing I use outside a plate.

Here is a link to a leather tobacco valet tray that I make. It's soft enough to bend and pour tobacco in to your pipe.

Basically I use it for rubbing out tobacco or letting it dry.

It's normally available in various sizes, but they have been selling out.

I like the paper hotdog trays you get at the gas station. I keep a stack of around 8-10 of them in my car!

I use the lid of the tin, or the flap of the pouch. I don't see the need for additional apparatus. Maybe I ought to give it a try, even if it's just the lid off a tupperware box.

Could go with a plastic weigh boat, cheap and disposable...

Thinking about getting this one. You can even get it engraved.

I use a terra cotta planter saucer. Works great for drying tobacco too.
