I'm Probably In the Minority But...

Now I find my stash of McClelland tins is aesthetically unappealing.

Flakes?

Ready rubbed.?

I just ordered four, 12 ounce tubs of a certain blue canned tobacco with a white plastic lid. Can you guess which brand???

Crisco!

I like my tobacco like I like my women.

Stuffed in a pipe? That horrible

Plugged?

It is awesome how my simple nondescript comment has unleashed the minds.

I like the plastic lids. Thanks to them, you can use your cool tobacco tins to store other things such as screws, briar dust, half inch dowels, etc. and so forth.

 

[puff_not_snuff]

I respect your choice.

EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9)

I won't buy tobacco with a plastic lid. I'm not an environmentalist but it just seems aesthetically unappealing. Lot's of choices out there. I like the tins.

well I despise plastic too but won't go that far

I wonder why you, OP, wanted to write about that. It won't change any tinning choices by the manufacturers.

I just end up jarring em anyway. Still, regular tins are nice.

Sure a nicely designed tin with no warning stickers on it is attractive. But to avoid great tobacco blends due to a throw away lid seems a touch daft.

Captain Black Blueberry??

Captain Black Blueberry??

I'll buy a few cans of that right now.

Thanks man. I've never been called daft before. I realize that I will not be able to try all the tobacco out there in my life time so I look for fun ways to buy my tobacco. I love tins and tin art. I hate unnecessary plastic. And yes I am a "noob" so I understand there are some who are lookin for the nirvana of tobacco brand but I just like the smoke. Peace man. Merry Christmas.

I love the artistry of pipes, the history, also of tobacco and tin art, so I am on your side in regards to all of the art, but to any Pipe Lover, I can’t image these two McClelland tins with plastic lids on them, as aesthetically unappealing.

I think the art drawn on these tins portrays nice art, and some of the best in Pipe Tobacco art too.

You would never own either of these with the plastic lids on them? Hmm ?

You're shutting the door on a lot of excellence.
