   Do you think its just psychology that makes the tub seem better to so many people? I'm sure they don't make different tobacco for each of them right?

   From my experience with P.A. I don't notice any difference;
   but then again, when I'm smoking P.A. I seldom focus on it.

   I find myself sitting idly on the line dividing past and future,
   as if I could kill time without injuring eternity. -- Thoreau

   it's a real marketing tool..packaging is half the battle to get the customer to make the purchase, of course it helps if you use the SEX ploy to intice/excite your customers.

   I like the tubs because they are most economical way to buy OTC's.

   No, the Middleton tubs, which are officially known as Sta-Fresh Canisters, keep the tobacco fresher than the pouches. And as someone else mentioned, it's much more cost-efficient in tubs.

    I can see it in a hot tub on a deck, though.

    I don't buy large amounts of OTC blends - I don't smoke 'em enough to make it worth while - but the seal has got to be better than on a pouch.

    I prefer the pouches as I travel a lot for work and it's a convenience and gives me variety, I also buy my pouch tobaccos by the six packs from a retailer (JR Cigars) with a high turnover of product so they are always fresh and moist when I receive them.
