Those look like some decent tins.:sher:


I love little tins of various sorts, I've always liked them, and have collected them for longer than I've smoked pipes. Tobacco coming in neat tins is one of the top ten things I like about pipe smoking, I wish companies would start making the half sized pocket tins of tobacco again.

This is my current favourite pocket tin, it had grape candies in it originally:

So I put 2 flakes or Macbaren Burley Flake in one, and it kept it fresh for about 3 days before drying it out. I only need it to stay fresh for a few hours lol.

Uh, why buy these tins? Don't you have Kangaroo sneakers or penny loafers which have compartments designed to keep samples of pipe tobacco? And, for that matter, do you not wear a fly fishing vest out when you smoke, which has all those pockets for the same purpose. I'm just... I'm very confused, why you would send monies on these tins? I don't know what else to say...

You should upgrade to a DS which offers two separate tobacco compartments.

I also have this one for coin tobacco. Tins prevent dry tobacco from being crushed and powdered in your pocket if you're active.

No to derail this "thread" about, uhhh... "mini tins", of all things. I mean...mini? tins? it's 2023 so, I guess anything goes these days...anyways... I found a DS on a stoop near me recently and uhhh... it has two screens? Uhhh... when I was a kid, Gameboys only had one screen, and guess what? We all managed to save Princess Zelda just fine.
