Questions You Thought Were Too Dumb to Ask (Pipes Edition)

Bulging tins. Good or bad?

Excellent. It is a sign of well aged tobacco. As the tobacco ages inside the tin, it gives off gases that expand and push the seals on the tins.

When a buyer see's a bulging tin, they know they are in for some good, well aged baccy. And when a seller see's their tin bulging, they know they are in for some skrilla.

Nice! So to review:
Green beans Bulging=salmonella
Tobacco Bulging=tastyful

Well I guess you learn something new everyday.
I figured the tin swelling would cause it to lose it's seal.

Another factor to consider is how much room you'll have to store the tobacco.

No way! You start thinking like that, and the next thing you know, you're behaving sensibly!
