I always ordered my pipe tobacco in bulk or pouches. I wanted to try a new type of smoke so not to get stuck with it I ordered it in a tin. Those things are great. They have a good seal and are air tight. They are almost twice as toll as Altoids tin and little bigger. Since they are round they fit everywhere. Every manufacturer has a difrerent depth on the tins but diameter stays about the same.
