Newb question about tinned vs. bulk tobacco

[Basment_Shaman]

I bought a lb of dunhill once .I think it was EMP. It was unsmokable. For dunhill I will stick with tins. Now if Sam Gawith would have Sam's flake in bulk I buy 5 Lbs. I wish they ship some FVF Plug And St James Plug stateside. I am happy with flakes in Bulk, They look like I could eat it like beef jerky

I buy both bulk and tins and don't see much of a difference, with the exception of size considerations (flakes being trimmed to fit the tin). I prefer tins because of the collector and resale value. Also the artful labels on the tins are a factor. That being said, bulks are a lot cheaper per oz. and represent the best value if all you are wanting is the tobacco.
