Uses for empty tobacco tins

[dillonmcmurphy]

What are some of the things you guys use empty tobacco tins for? Just curious. I so far have used mine as ashtrays and for keeping fine ash in for making pipe mud.

I'm making a wall mounted display case for mine which will go up in my smoking room. Just the flat ones, though.

I use one for rubbing out and drying moist, stinky, cakey stuff. The others are used for storing paper clips, carburetor jets, machine screws, and Vigra.

Coasters, ashtrays, dry and go tobacco.

I keep all my smoking stuff - my Czech tool, a folding pipe stand, two boxes of matches, my Zippo, and a folding pipe stand - in an empty Sunset Breeze tin. That way when I load up a pipe I've got everything I need to smoke it all in one place.

Good ideas! I'm also working on a display. I like the idea of using it to rub out and dry/store tobacco to go and I also really like the idea of storing smoking accessories in. Good stuff!

I take all mine and throw them in a big cardboard box and put them away for later use someday when I figure out what I want to do with them.

The viagra idea isn't bad though!

I'm accumulating a bunch of 8 oz C&D/GLP cans.
I know I'll find a use for em eventually.
They'd be great for storing less than a
quart of leftover paint.

I use mine to dry small amounts of baccy too. I find it keeps some of the flavor in while drying, compared to leaving it out in the open air.

I throw mine away....

By the way, what in the heck is pipe mud????

I do use ashed from a cigar to polish the sterling silver bands on my pipes. Cigar ashed are awesome for cleaning silver!
