Tobacco pouch

[2] A tobacco pouch is a vital clue in the Sherlock Holmes short story The Adventure of Black Peter.

[3] Sir Walter Raleigh, an English explorer and one of the first to popularise tobacco smoking in England, kept a tobacco pouch during his final imprisonment with a Latin inscription: Comes meus fuit in illo miserrimo tempore ("It was my companion at that most miserable time").

[6] Tobacco pouches, fake or genuine, have also been the target of burglaries in Bury St Edmunds in 2013.

[7] Tobacco pouches have also been used to store drug paraphernalia, including cannabis.

They are usually made out of real leather, which helps with keeping the tobacco fresh and ensuring that the pouch will last for a long time.
