Any pipe smokers in Melbourne? or close?

Moondog55 · 18th March 2010, 01:50 AM

Hi all in Australia but especially Melbourne and Geelong.
I know that smoking is becoming socially unacceptable BUT, I need some small steel tins for putting together some bushwalking survival kits and want to buy a few empty rectangular tins.
I'm happy to pay a couple of dollars plus postage, some tobaccos still come in useful containers so I hope one or two of you can come to my "Rescue" so to speak

They need to be steel, so you can polish the lids to use for a signal mirror, also I have tried many plastic ones and no way are they robust enough

I buy my pipe tobacco buy the once (loose), so no tins. Maybe it's different down there,
Good luck with it!

Most people buy in plastic bags these days, my dad used to smoke Dr Pat, no good those tins are round ( and worth $5= each on ebait ) should I tell him,

I have a couple. I'd have to search the garage for them. I'm just up the street in Bell Post Hill

Then your garage is a LOT less messy than mine, I have woofers I haven't seen for years, damn things must be escaping under the door ( I think they breed if left undisturbed in the dark )

My garage is full of cars and car bits with a few speakers in there somewhere. I have tins full of nuts and bolts. Woofers breeding isn't necessarily a bad thing lol
