Andy, thanks for the quick reply. I agree with you on the "close/good enough" theory, but I see I didn't make myself completely clear. I can't find a single tobacco tin around here. Maybe it's just the area I'm in, rural, but all tobacco is in pouches here. I'm just going to have to pester the shop owners a bit more, because they all told me they've never carried any tins and wouldn't know where to get them. If tins are so popular in other areas then I find it hard to believe no one knows what I'm talking about around here.
