Tobacco leftovers

pipesith

Just wondering what you guys do with the tobacco you have that may be less than a bowls worth. Do you mix it with something else, throw it in a jar with all the other leftovers or just throw it away with tin?

I can't let any go to waste and will mix it with something else. I have also mixed tobacco that I didn't like with something else to try to make something positive out of it. Sometimes it turns out good other times not so good.

I usually have more than one tin of the same kind if not I do have some smaller pipes that I take to work with me. If all else fails I will add something mllow like some McCranie's.

I'm with @corey562. I either fill up the bowl with the next tin of whatever the blend is, smoke it in a smaller bowl, or just smoke a partial bowl.

I also follow with @Corey562 and @judandhispipe.

I have found so few blends that I really like enough to always want to keep on hand, that I always have a tin in the cellar ready to back up the jar when the dregs are all I have.

I have a jar I call "Pappy's Compost". It's where I dump tins when I have less than a full bowl left. Sometimes, if it's something I don't enjoy by itself, I will add some of it to the jar - but never a tin more than half full. I smoke it when I am going to be working outside or doing something where I know I'm not going to be sitting and relaxing. 

If I have some tobacco that has gotten too dried out, it goes in the compost jar as well. It then absorbs the moisture from the other tobacco.

I also try to never waste any tobacco, so I generally just mix whatever is left with some Borkum Riff. I've yet to find a blend that was so bad that it couldn't be rendered smokable (is that a real word?) by cutting it with a substantial amount of BR).

@topaz75. It's a real world in the pipe world. Most common spelling is smokeable.

If its less than a bowl full I will usually toss it. Pipe tobacco is relatively cheap compared to other hobbies. I have tried putting the leftovers in a jar, but more often than not it tasted awful.

My leftovers have been going in to an ever changing blend in a mason jar. Right now it is a good percentage of Middletons Cheery blend which I made the mistake of picking up. everyonce and awhile if I feel the blend is just not going in the right direction I will throw in some Prince Albert or Carter Hall to bring it back in line.

If you like it. make a "Parfait" of it with another you like and smoke it to see where the taste changes.

Being a Sherlock Holmes fan I have a Mason jar filled with left over aromatics that I've labeled "Baker Street Irregulars".

I tend to mix leftovers with toasted dark Cavendish. It seems to compliment most tobacco leftovers.
 I'm coming from my taste buds, yours may be different...

Woodsman

Pretty much the same only my additive of choice is Black Cavendish.

KA9FFJ

@Woodsman Me too. I should have said BLACK Cavendish...

Once I had a place to keep a humidor (not something you have on a ship unless you're a CPO or higher with your own/shared stateroom), I have tended to also keep a separate sealed jar called: "Odds of the Ends." Obviously, that is where the less-than-a-bowl leftovers ends up if I don't have another of the same blend to crack open. Every few days or so I tend to pick it up and roll it in my hands, and tumble it end-for-end a few times to continue mixing the assorted contents around. It can be quite interesting to see what the smell and taste have become whenever I smoke a bowlful from it.

After my short presence here on TPL so far, I have begun wondering if perhaps I should add another jar and split the leftovers between English leftovers and Aromatic leftovers to see where that takes the flavors and tastes.

I like to experiment. My first choice is to add it to more of the same blend if I have more, but if not I'll add it to another blend to see what happens. As pipesith said, sometimes good, sometimes not so good.

Woodsman

I sometimes smoke a remainder in a Parfait with another tobacco under it.

Woodsman

Oh  boy, you can tell I'm tired. Sorry for the reiteration.

Everyone should have a "Best of the Rest" jar.

My left over/Dreggs in my pouch, go on top of some strong straight Dark Burley and just burn it off that way
