What do you guys do when you get to the last little bit of a tin or jar and it's not enough for a bowl? Throw it in a community jar and make a mystery blend? Worm food? This is only an issue if it is a blend I'm not collaring.

Add it to another tin of the same, smoke a partial bowl, or throw it in the trash.

Everyone has their own way with the final bit of tobacco in a tin, jar, pouch, etc. I don't like the mystery jar approach since the flavors get too muddy and sometimes harsh. I often take the whole remaining pinch and mix it with a thoughtfully chosen blend that I think it will complement. Usually this works well enough, and often it's quite good or better. I don't throw out good tobacco. Bad tobacco I put on the garden as insecticide.

I also stuff my own cigs, so I just add it to my cigarette tobacco. Do the same thing If I dry more than will fit in my bowel.

Leaving aside bowels, drying a bunch at a time is a good thing. Just stick the extra in a Mason jar, and less wait for the next bowel. Er, bowl.

Gotta love a typo lol, nothing quite like a refreshing tobacco enema.

Smoke and enjoy.
Ernest Hemingway once said: "Never delay kissing a pretty girl or opening a bottle of whiskey". I apply the same spirit to finishing a blend, even if it's the last of a discontinued mixture (I'm looking at you, Frog Morton's Cellar!)
