I try to limit myself to no more than 5 open tins at a time, but while going through my terribly disorganized collection today, I spotted 2 tins of H&H Classic Burley Kake dated June 2011 and I'm just dying to pop one open. I know, rules are made to be broken, but if I slip over the edge on this one I'm afraid it won't end with just that one tin. So, tell me, how many tins do you normally have open at any given time?

I have close to 40 open right now.

Once I open any tin I just throw it all in a mason jar so I don't have to worry about humidifying it. So all the tins that I have are still sealed, but if you count my mason jars as "open" then it is around 30 I would think.

1 tin/can but I put it in a jar. I have a couple more tins I want to open, but I want to smoke down some of my jars. It is hard to get through the jars when I smoke a half bowl a week maybe 2 if I am lucky. I need to make more time and I need better weather!

Two. I have both types of tobacco open right now; gold virginia (Astley's No. 55) and red virginia (HOTW). So I'm on a bit of a bender right now...

16 open and in jars right now down from about 30. I'd be happy narrowing to 5 or 6 jars.

About 15 open tins and right around 10 in bulk jars that I smoke from.

All of them. I jar everything, however. For some reason I save lots of my tins (that are empty, mind you).....I'm not really sure why.

One tin and two jars. Mac Barren and most other brands are only sold in plastic pouches in my country. I directly transfer them to jars. For the tins I feel sorry to open them as they are extremely rare to find here. Therefore I only open one tin at a time....seems silly;)

I saved empties for a while. I think I had this idea that it would be cool to have them years from now when they were no longer in production. Unfortunately, only a couple manufacturers still use painted tins, and I decided to toss everything with a stick on label.

That settles it. All I needed was that little shove. Trash day is tomorrow...buh bye tins...

I don't know how many are open tins and how many are from bulk buys, but I have more than 60 jars. I have about fifty unopened tins. I could cut it down to fifteen varieties and never miss the others. I guess the others are for tobaccogeddon when the FDA outlaws the sale of tobacco.
