Hi all i was just wondering ive seen alot of posts about using plastic bags when going out for the day but just wondering has anyone used a cigar tube to store small amounts of pipe to tobbaco in ??

As I only smoke large pipes, I've never found a reason to bring along any more than what I already have packed in the pipe. Interesting idea though

If I expect I'll have to refill my pipe I take some tobacco in an old snus can, hold enough for at least 3 refills.

I would think it would be a PITA to put tobacco in a tube and get it out. And for what reason? It's not going to be damaged. A zip lock works fine, grabbing a tin or two or using a tobacco pouch. They sell those tobacco pouches for next to nothing.

I always use a roll up tobacco pouch because it’s nice to use the flap when you’re packing the pipe.

The aforementioned baggie, an old empty pipe tobacco tin, or a fold-over seem like slightly easier to handle solutions that hold a little more leaf, to me.

Yes, someone has done that. But why bother? Even a flimsy plastic baggie will work; just roll it up tight after putting a half ounce or so in it.

Ziplocks for me.

I use an old square Capstan tin. Holds plenty, fits almost anywhere.

Plastic baggies would work most places but, the high humidity here in summer would make a sog out of anything inside it pretty quick.

I put Carter Hall in my pipe pouch combo, and briar fox in my leather pouch. When I'm feeling frisky and want to smoke one of my 3 other blends, I'll put a small amount in a film canister. Fits about two or 3 bowls worth. More than I'll ever want of a different tobacco in one sitting.

When I am out for the day, I just leave the Rottweiler in charge of my tobacco stash.

Where is "here"?

And if a baggie is rolled up it "gains better resistance" to moisture changes.

Baccyflap!!!!

jpmcwjr...deep south here. I've rolled up tobacco in a baggie before and stashed it in the pickup while outside working all day. July and August down here usually brings out the moisture in anything.

Even Nightcap sleeping in a baggie.

Cheers all thankyou for the replys i may give didimauw's idea of a film canister a go as i find a baggie always ends up ripping in my pockets
