Latex Replacement for Pouch?

[sparrowhawk]

Is there any way to repair or replace a ripped latex lining for a leather tobacco pouch? I discovered a rip in my very nice Peterson pouch, and I'd hate to discard it. Is there anyone out there that does this kind of work?

How about taking the latex out and using just the leather?

Years ago I used duct tape. Seriously! Worked very well for a couple of years. It was a leather roll-up that finally fell to pieces. By then I had arrived, as it were, and purchased . . . wait for it . . . a Dunhill roll-up.

BUMP Cause I was wondering the same thing...

Reading this thread prompts a question: Why is it that latex prophylactics have a distinctive -or distinktive - odor, but the latex lining in a tobacco pouch does not? This is strange, since I assume that it's the same rubber used in each product.

I was going to suggest using a condom. Then I realized that getting the head, of the pipe, inside for loading the tobacco would be kinda tough. Lube would mess up the tobacco and . . . perhaps a Mod could clean this up for me. I'm getting in over my head!

Oh, ha ha, guys.

@ warren....I have nothing more to add!! :rofl:

I would seriously consider using two nested baggies. You could get a better seal and could be removed for loading and replaced for pennies as needed. And I think doubled baggies keep tobacco fresher than the latex liners. MHO

I thought that is what you were attempting :rofl:
