Why a Round Tin?

[misterlowercase]

But if you want them, Troy, just cut us a check for the 50k tin minimum order and for the machine to fill and seal them and we'll get right on it for you.

I wasn't the one asking about metal tins,

I was the one talking about paper packets.

Maybe, Troy, perhaps your talents are being wasted here. Maybe you just need to start up your own tobacco company and do it your way... I mean, how difficult could that really be? ;-)

Why are there no triangular shaped tins? Or spheres? Or, those little stacked figures from Russia with a smaller tin, inside and larger one, inside a larger one? Why the loss of creativity? Why just plugs, flakes, coins, and rr? Why not pelleted tobacco that can be loaded into your pipe like alfalfa pellets? They could be marketed in in containers like Tic Tacs.
Think outside the box, ...or tin.
Ohhhh, spray tobacco, that comes in pressurized cans that you can spray into your pipe and it foams up ready to light. Cheesewiz style. Pre-lit tobacco, stuff-n-puff. I'm not a fan of holding on to antiquated ideas, just for the sake of antiquation.
Eh...
Hmmm...
...maybe not. But, I think that I did a gooid job of trying to keep the title of dumbass. Ha! ::

woodsroad, if you are smart, you will send me a sample of your finished product so I can tell people whether it is worthy of their attention. Being the omnipotent being that I am, I can make or break you. Now if the product is great, it will sell out, if the product is bad, then a couple hundred grand will make me say it is great. It is a win win for you.
peck, I am stealing your disclaimer, if you have aa problem with that, contact my attorney.

^^Ha, speaking of creativity... can't even come up with your own disclaimer, eh? :wink:

PM's hidden camera recently snapped Dan in the super secret product-development laboratory of The Standard Tobacco Company of Pennsylvania. Could it be that he's finally completed War Horse Plug? The world waits and wonders...

Seeing this made me wonder what the special process was to make the plug......or what part of him that was doing the squeezing if ya know what I mean!

This picture is technically incorrect. At Standard Tobacco we have an army of Minions overseen by a senior Oompa Loompa and their sole job function is to sit on the tobacco, break wind on it to give it that floral essence and then compress it into plugs! Do you know how difficult it is to get an individual Minion fart into each tin of War Horse? That is why the tins are round since in the early experiments with square tins we were getting too many sharts! :rofl:

^^^damn, ok ok ok, I will have to reluctantly concede my status of dumbass. You win condorlover. I hope you're happy

And. This thread is peaches and cream compared to the recent one.
Please: It go let.

This was a fun read!

 

[jerwynn]

Everything precious is round!

 

[yioryos]

I hate round tins!

 

[mcitinner1]

I hate round tins!

WHY?? I like a tin that can be sealed, unlike the rectangular ones.

And round tins have more room for artwork, as well as providing space for the government death warnings that'll be coming to a tin near you one fine day.
