Tinned vs. Bulk tobacco

[dmkerr]

Has anyone found a taste or quality difference between a tinned blend and the same blend in bulk? Anyone do a back-to-back comparison?

SG bulks seem to stay moist longer than tinned version. I think it means more PG in bulk so I rather have tinned version. I have not noticed any taste difference.

I do not believe there is any PG in Samuel Gawith!

There is nearly always a slight difference between bulk and tinned, also batch, year's on shelf, shop purchased from, pipe condition, temperture, pipe shape, moisture level etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....It is unlikely that you will ever smoke two bowls of the same baccy in the same pipe without a slightly difference of experience or taste. Welcome to the joys of pipe smoking.

I've often wondered this myself, thanks for the question

[dmkerr]

Understood, but I was really wondering (just not stated properly) if a company's tinned product comes from a different batch or is made differently somehow. In other words, are the tastes of a tinned and its corresponding bulk product consistently different?

By the way, thanks for all the great videos! Really inspiring and helpful. Please keep up the great work!

I haven't noticed any big differance myself. I prefer bulk personally because you get more bang for your buck...

Neither have I, but I get the impression some people have. I've smoked a fair amount of Dunhill 965 from both sources and noticed the tinned product tends to be fresher when the bulk was purchased from a B&M, and no different when I got some from pipesandcigars.com.

Err... back when you could get it, that is!

I've smoked some tinned and bulk versions of several tobaccos and never noticed any difference I could rely on consistently. Just wondered if anyone else has. I, too, tend to buy in bulk.

Thanks for asking this question i was wondering the same thing.It sounds like there all most no difference i think i'll stick with buying bulk just so i never run out

I have smoked in Tin and now bulk because tins have been out of stock. Seemed identical to me. The only reason I will continue to do tins it to store them longer than bulk.
