Thanks for your help in searching for the tins. Sorry about my previous post (The Holy Grail)---I didn't see the post that you had today (15th) about www.thegrooveshack.com. I hope the new tins will work out, I can' t wait to get a report back from you. The pictures adorning the tins (the Pope smoking marijuana, Jimi Hendrix, and other cannabis-related symbols) are especially amusing... I guess I will leave them on there, instead of trying to scrub them off with steel wool. After all, "positive mental attitude" is the first priority in survival. The pictures on the front of the tin warrant a few chuckles, if nothing else. Thanks again.

I agree with Chris--try a tobacconist (read: pipe & cigar shop here in America). It's been a while since I've been in one (don't smoke), but recall seeing a bunch of tins, some of which did not have tobacco in them.

Don't recall the prices. I guess a little field research is in order...:)

Eagle Scout and all: I received my order of stash tins from www.thegrooveshack.com today.

My order took a long time to arrive because one of the designs I'd chosen was out of stock. The Groove Shack customer service was very good, once I contacted them by e-mail. (Messages I left on their telephone answering machine were never answered.) They explained the situation and offered a substitute, but I chose to wait.

The design isn't very important in the end. Each of the three samples I received was a plain black box with an adhesive label on the lid. The label is easy to remove, leaving a plain box.

The tin dimensions are: 1 x 3-1/8 x 4-1/4 inches. This is exactly the same size as the BCB tins I have. The metal seems comparable in gage. The lid seal is a soft plastic gasket, well attached to the lid rim.

In short, I think this is a viable source for empty tins. You might want to contact them first to make sure your choice is in stock, or to specify that pattern doesn't matter.
