Just bought a tin of MacBarens Seven Seas Royal and I am having a devil of a time opening the tin due to arthritis in my hands. It says to put a coin in the edge and twist, trouble is I have a hard time twisting. Any suggestions? :crying:

I had a tough time with some 7 seas recently, as well.
I am a pretty strong dude. Didn't want to end up with tobacco flying all over the room. Did that with pickles once.
Ended up using the tip of a butter knife.
Worked just fine.

Finally got it open last night, Thanks for all the suggestions, by the way, it is very good tobacco. :

I imagine it tasted all the better for the effort it took to open!
So how did you finally get at it? Screwdriver, run over it with your car, neighbors teen aged son....?

I used an oversize screwdriver, it worked great, and it did taste better. I like aromatics but I like english too, Cornell-Diehl (sp) has some blends that have both and I plan to try them. ::

+1 on the screwdriver, though I really liked the mental image of spartans idea of using a car! (-;
