    It should be ok, but the jar should keep the smells contained so you could bring it inside. Here I'm using the pipe in a jar to keep the smells of a half-smoked pipe from stinking up the car when I didn't feel like dumping out the unburnt tobacco and cleaning the pipe and removing the ash and pipe cleaners from the car to keep it from stinking.

    If your cob starts to get sour or smell, you can give it a sun bath, but don't leave it out all night or let the sprinklers get it. If it has a vulcanite stem, remove it before giving it a sun bath.

    I keep most of my pipe tobacco in my closet in Mason jars and mylar bags. I have a little selection next to my chair in the living room and a ready service jar that floats around. Right now the ready service hangs out with the pipe in the garage. I use that particular jar for whatever concoction I come up with or to dump leftovers that don't make it into the bowl right away and I'm too lazy to return to the proper container.

    If you leave your tobacco in a place where the temperature changes a lot it can cause what I call dead spots in the tobacco. Inside a jar the moisture is contained; however, said moisture can be moved around due to heat. If the jar gets hot you’ll notice it sweating on the inside. That’s moisture coming out of the tobacco. That moisture also carries flavor. As it cools back down that moisture will settle in the bottom along with the flavor it carries. What happens is the tobacco that’s on top and exposed loses that moisture and the tobacco on the bottom soaks it up. You end up with tobacco on top that is the dead spot I mentioned.
    Gravity can also play a factor in the same way but It takes a great deal more time. Every so often I go through and flip my jars and tins that are stored to keep things evened out.

    Excellent information that would not have even thought of. Thank you.

    Sorry I can’t listen to this clowns voice. 😂😂

    A good cigar and the open road solve most problems.

    Not so much a tip but I found the tobacco trivia on this pipe catalog page interesting.

    @ShawnOL I posted it as a new discussion in the social group section. If people can keep from commenting on it, it will stay there for easy reference

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    You have to do it @Yakster 's way. Also, only seems to work in "desktop site" mode. At least it did for me.

    Just try them. Really enjoy a cigar, esp. a churchill when brush hogging or spending longer periods of time on the tractor. The pipe however is so convenient on every day chores.
