Geez, baccy here is never in cans, no one could ever afford a can in one go without taking a second mortgage.

I haven't even see Players' (real ones without mufflers) or Senior Service in 50s tins since 1951.

Be aware 0.4409245248oz (12.5g for the modern Europhiles) of baccy here is £2.04 at the C&C price, more at a regular outlet; that's CAN$4.21694 according to XECom http://www.xe.net/ucc/

I even make my own roaches to save baccy, simply put the covers of a telephone directory or Yellow Pages into the shredder and get handy 5mm wide strips, these will curl nicely into the ubiquitous, flat 1oz baccy tin.

Ensure you carry a blunted and shortened cocktail stick to act as a baccy tamping rod and a handy tool to roll a ¾" tear-off bit of the strip around to make a one turn, self-expanding roach then easily fitted after a loosish roll and a good tap to make a void pocket one end.

We're not into throwing baccy away at £74.03 (CAN$153.029) a pound.

Would you like a picture of the inside of my baccy tin?

R.
