Hi Everyone,

As I get older I find that I'm trying to save more and more money. With that in mind I was shopping around and looking at bulk versions of some of my favorite blends like Sammy G. FVF, St. James Flake, and some of the Gawith, Hoggarth blends. I was a bit confused about the pricing. It seems that there is no value or savings in buying the bulk blends. It seemed to me that the pricing was exactly the same as if it was tinned. I know that the tins have 50 grams in them and the bulk you buy in 2 ounces, but the prices reflected that. I looked on both smokingpipes and pipesandcigars and found this on both sites. Now with everything else in life that I have ever bought bulk in (bulk candy, bulk nails, bulk livestock feed, bulk topsoil, etc) it is a better value and cheaper to buy it in bulk because you don't have the price of packing and packaging tacked on to it. That doesn't seem to be the case with bulk tobacco. It's almost as if the tins are thrown in for free. Anyone have an explanation for this?
