I was going to buy a lb. of Nightcap in bulk. You guys are saying that I should buy the tins. Whats the difference? It can't be that much difference especially to my newbie pipe smoking palette.

Rich, I'm happy to hear the sale was a huge success. 2,000 tins sold in one day is pretty incredible! I look forward to your next sale.
969 year old pipe smoker and math lover - my understanding is the bulk and tin are the exact same thing but they age differently due to the different aging environments. I imagine if you jar the bulk it will eventually become the exact same thing as aging in the tin.

In my experience, tinned tobacco has a fairly consistent level of humidity as well as flavor, bulk is not consistent. I've bought bulk 965 that was almost goopy, some that that was dry, some that I swore they forgot to put Lat in...I've never experienced that with tinned version.
The tins are a bit spicier, the bulk tastes more traditionally English

^^this too^^

Almost bit, 4noggins' shipping is too expensive to Canada

The shipping and peace of mind I get ordering from 4noggins makes the bit of extra money worth it for me.

I know what you're saying and I've spoken with someone concerning this. I've never had a problem with 4noggins or with Smokingpipes but the difference in shipping charges combined with a low Canadian dollar and the choice isn't difficult. Almost twice as much, $18 for a small order of four tins, I assume you might rethink this.

Possibly including the bags they are shipped in, stored in at the distro, then shipped to you in for a week of grueling UPS/USPS tomfoolery through the arid wastelands and humid backwaters of the world.

I like Nightcap, there's just so many better blends out there. The perique level in NightCap is the only reason I'd go back. I have some C&D Bayou Night on the way, one of those that may replace Nightcap.

I love Bayou Night, but there's nothing that will replace Nightcap for me either. Weird how favorites are like that. I do not think this falls into a better/best comparison, but an expression of personal choice, which is not so much "subjective" as arbitrary, meaning reflecting my own needs and limitations (perhaps).
