Choosing the right tobacco tin is a task that involves looking closely at size, function, design, and affordability.  Fortunately, it is possible to take all these aspects into consideration and come up with the ideal tin for your purposes.  Here are some examples of what to look for.

When it comes to size and function, consider whether you are looking for a tin to store your stash around the house, or something that is a bit more portable.  A larger tin that is somewhat decorative is likely to be great for home use, while something that fits neatly into a jacket pocket is a good idea for on the go.  With either size, make sure the lid to the tin seals firmly, so the contents are kept fresh at all times.

The design is also an important consideration.  Some people prefer a thin and somewhat narrow tin with a small lid at the top, while others enjoy a box style tin with a lid that is the same length and width as the main section of the storage area.  Go with something that you find appealing to the eye, and you’ll be much happier with the purchase.

Last, there is always the matter of price.  You can spend a great deal of money on a tobacco tin, especially if you want one that stores stash lighters, flints, and rolling papers along with the tobacco and herbs.  But there are also some bargains out there, especially if you are willing to look around a bit.

Check your local head shop, including second hand stores and charity shops, since you never know what will turn up in those establishments.  Don’t forget to look for online bargains as well.  With a little effort, you can find a tin that is ideal for your purposes and within your budget.
