Looks like pipe tobacco to me - and the pipes look like tobacco pipes too.

Cause pipe tobacco comes in a sandwich baggy and you use your exacto knife to seperate the tobacco beaners? :P

I dunno. Apparently, I have less experience (read NONE) with either tobacco or other less than legal combustibles than other people on the internet ;-)

No but you do need something to scrape out the bowl and unclog the mouthpiece. Depending on the tobacco, it can leave behind a resin. Also, some tobacco does come packaged in similar plastic bags...not quite sandwich bags, but similar.

I'm changing my answer to:

C) cannot answer the question given the data provided

I smoke pipes (along with fine cigars) and I have a rather extensive pipe collection. No one in their right mind is going to scrape a pipe bowl with an exacto knife. And while I have not been to all the corners of the earth, I've not encountered pipe tobacco sorted in sandwich bags yet. I have, however, seen pretty similar scenes to those posted here - including firearms present - and it's always been an unfavorable outcome for the owner. :wink:

I still think DeanC had the best intuition and advice.

I don't know what the exacto knife's involvement is, but I did smoke pipe for most of the 8 years that I had a tobacco habit. I frequently bought in bulk and put what I intended to carry in a sandwich baggy. I guess I coulda used something fancier, but I sure wasn't gonna carry

I, for one, appreciate that reference.

Still doesn't look like weed to me; not that I'm an expert.

I think that tobacco makes him happy. Very, very happy. And hungry. That's why he's selling that upper receiver ... gotta pay for the twinkies somehow.
