I used the labels to make a piece of fun wall art.

Keep the ones that I like, use some for tacks, nails and misc things. Decorate the walls.
I aim to do more with this. I really like what @jttnk has going on.
First 3 years, I kept all of my empty tins but I ran out of space and threw them all away (3 large trash bags), many of which are no longer made so I regretted throwing them out, so now I just keep one of each blend, no duplicates.

Much more durable construction material for Faraday head gear than tin foil. Using the unfinished side for its reflective properties obviously. Getting tired of repeating this every time this question comes up, should be a sticky by now Mods.
I just bought my first tins a couple days ago. I don't have any proper jars for them yet so I haven't cracked them open, but I've been pondering what I'll do with them. I'm thinking I might sell them to an antiques shop, they never seem to turn down PA cans so I'm sure they'll love the Orlik Golden Sliced, Presbyterian, and Rattray Marlin tins I bought. Not sure if they'd be interesting in the Plum Pudding tin since it has a plastic lid but it's worth a shot.
I have used a few for fire starting kits also. They travel nicely in a backpack.
I dig Funkhouser's cameo appearance in the bottom-right corner of the first one!
I usually recycle mine but I kept this gem to finance my retirement. It's gonna be worth a lot someday!
Mostly they end up in the bin, those with nice or unique art are gifted to a friend for re-purposing. All the warning labels have had an adverse impact on tin art IMO
Cash money!
But this forum post is about emptied tins. There's tobacco still in that tin, right?
but what do you do with the next bigger.... ok i'll show myself out now
damn, you're at caterbinnar 172 already - that's impressive!
The contents that have not already been smoked are safe in a jar. The collectible tin is empty!
