I'm Probably In the Minority But...

[Chasing Embers]

No! Smokin HOT!!!...

Maybe when I was 14. Ashes much better now.

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.

Burnt to a fine white ash?

Haha! That was great.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Yeh, I've heard that each lid requires the sacrifice of 12 kittens and a guinea pig.
I'm ok with it, but I could see how that'd make a fella queasy.

I can't explain it either. But I'm serious, give me tin!!

 

[Country Bladesmith]

So what about bulk blends? They come in Ziplock bags. ?‍

Maybe Plastic OCD?

I personally will only buy tobacco wrapped in newspaper. It's dried leaf for goodness sake.

Speaking of wrapping in newspaper, when I lived in New Zealand for a short while, the first time I had Fish & Chips at a small take out shop, they wrapped the Fish & Chips in newspaper, and I thought it really odd to have my food wrapped in a newspaper... LOL...

P.S. Sorry for going Off Topic....

One of my greatest moments of being a teenager was grabbing a handful of chips from the pile only to uncover a picture of Janet Jackson’s breast at the super bowl performance.

I know a guy who was just starting out his career as a musician and once he also ate a piece of fish off his face.

I miss those days. The food tasted better. Now they use a clean piece a parchment paper as the first wrap before getting the weekend herald out.

I buy tobacco to smoke and enjoy, not for the lids or, the tin art for that matter. And, I can save a ton of moneys when I buy in bulk, plastic bag fulls.

Also, I’m pretty sure @ashdigger likes his women burly

I hear you, but, tins are ruined with warning labels and once you open the tin it goes in a jar, so who cares about the plastic lid.

Unless you smoke through a tin and keep it in said container with it’s plastic lid.

Which I often do. When I'm going to enjoy some McClelland I aerate it before smoking to reduce the vinegar preservative so that I can enjoy the fine Virginias. I'll generally pop the tin a week or more before smoking and pop the plastic lid for a couple of minutes a day. The tobacco really opens up.

If plastic lids are a turn off, there are plenty of tins to enjoy. To each his own.

The man's particular about his lids, big deal - no skin off my nose, you do you. We used to smoke a lot of lids back in the day, so I kinda get it.

 

[pantsBoots]

I like my tobacco like I like my women.

Cheap and aromatic?
Or aged in a closet?

 

[biodarwin]

We all have our own hangups. I wouldn't buy pipes that were not bent, even though I never tried one, for the longest time.

Aged and in the closet sounds a bit sketchy, but cheap and aromatic is my bread and butter

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I like my tobacco like I like my women.

Ten years old and kept in the cellar? ?

I import my tins from the States. So far no warning labels. I also use the open tin to dry the tobacco for a bit before a smoke and to catch the bits that fall as I'm filling the pipe.

 

[Old School 3319]

All the tubs I buy have plastic lids, I can honestly say I have never smoked tobacco out of a tin
