Unique Ways To Carry Around Pipe Tobacco

[thebigragu]

For some time I was looking for a way to carry some tobacco around with me. I used a plastic bag for a little bit, but the tobacco would dry out. I also dip from time to time because it is easier at work seeing as I am im the military, and work on vehicles. I saw my empty tin and thought to myself if it could keep dip moist could it be use it to carry around pipe tobacco. It has worked pretty well so far. Any one els have any unique ways to carry around their pipe tobacco?

I've been using a small-ish travel humidor (meant for six cigars) but which is large enough to fit a Canadian, a snack bag of tobacco and some long stem matches. Does not fit comfortably in my pocket, but works for a short trip someplace where I might want a bowl or two.
Cheers.

Sometimes I pack a pipe and then stop the bowl with a wine cork until I'm ready to smoke. I don't really worry about my tobacco drying out, though. I prefer it quite dry.

Yeah I keep my stuff in my backpack out of fear of breaking my pipe or losing all my tobacco in my pocket as I move around to get on or under these trucks I work on all day long. But that a good idea for when im in civis

I used to pack my pipe and put it in my pocket but I would forget it and lose most of the tobacco out of it usung a cork is a good idea though.I might have to try that. I like my tobacco oretty dry but not as dry as it get in the bag when I forget it for a week or longer.

That looks like a typical size of a rucksack in the army

If you pre pack a pipe a good trick is to put on a wind cap. It will hold the tobacco in. Depends which pocket you use to carry the pipe but it may help

I tend to put plugs in my pocket and cut them up as needed. I still have the oil skin tobacco pouch my Father gave me at age 16 and two baccyflaps that came from a very dear friend on this forum that I use for prepared tobacco.

In my experience, dryer tobacco usually burns well and delivers the flavor. You don't want dust, but crispy usually works.

My to go out consists of and Oakley eyeglass case which fits all the essentials!

For sheer convenience out in the field, I use two baggies, but ones with some thickness in the walls. I'll roll the first one up, and then roll the second around it. Goes for weeks if I forget.

That's a neat lil' jar! ?

I've been using these for when I can't pack the pipe before leaving the house:


They're kinda bulky, though. ?

A Group 4 size chamber will last me nearly two hours if I sit down and smoke, or all day at work for smoking on breaks. Just fill it, stick it in the pocket, and go. This fellow is my work buddy today.
