Well after a long time I master the art of opening the vacume tins and also not spilling a ton in the process, so what do they do ? They change the bloody Tin !!! All that hard work buying tin after tin (of course just to master the art of opening them) well I also HAD to use it all as that would be a waste right ?! Well now I have to start all over again learning how not to spill a ton opening the new tins …sigh… So has anyone also noticed the taste has also changed a bit in the new tins ??? Almost a chocolate undertone ??? I did compair the two and it is slightly different??? maybe its fresher but does the old vacume tins not keep it better ??

They got rid of the vacuum tins? I thought it was only the nice little blue tins that were being replaced. I assume it’s cost-driven. I agree, though, for all the difficulties they pose(d), the vacuum tins seem to keep the snuff pretty much indefinitely. What are the new tins like?

They are like the wos tins il take a pic of one quite nice but not as good

The new tins

Lordy, what a shame! And just when WoS (I think) has put a menthol in a vacuum tin.

they traded tins

Add Hedges 260 to that list which is no longer vac sealed and in the same dryout tins.

what a shame. the vaccum time are excellent.

Just goes to prove that 300 year old companies don’t give two squats about what the customer wants, or even do things that make sense. Thank goodness Toque/Fubar are actually improving their tins.

Its Imperial Tobacco’s fault as they now own and make J&H Wilsons and clearly don’t give a hoot about snuff and are more focused on smokeable tobacco.

not only that but a company that large makes choices in a really schizophrenic way. They have a group crunch numbers and the same people making the snuff have no choice either (think about that a bit)

Medicated no.66 by 6 photo is now available in vacuum sealed tins. We modeled it after Wilsons tins!

I hope you don’t overfill them like the WoS tins!

who cares if they over fill. That’s just means you need more snuff boxes.

@sixphoto that’s a really smart move and will be appreciated by consumers. Watch J&H Wilsons sales drop dramatically now they are using non-vac tins. They will regret it.

I hope you don’t overfill them like the WoS tins!

Are you kidding? Fill them w/split atoms! The more snuff the better.
