stick a knife under the lip ans slowly bend it out. Most tins are vacuum sealed and you need to get a litte air in there to open her up. You should hear a pop or the sound of the air rushing in. Also, the tobacco is proabaly wrapped in some sort of paper in the tin so it won't all fall out everywhere.

Just stepped out on the slippery slope - picked up two MM Country Gentelmen, one bent and one straight. A bag each of Prince Albert and carter hall, pipe cleaners and a tool.

Figure I'm stuck up here in the high mountain desert of Washington state for three more weeks, might as well give it a try

All right - I'm Hooked!!!

Got to say this quietly, I think I may like this better than my cigars

Got my two MM's. I prefer the straight on these. I think if the bowl was turned also then the bent stem might fit me better. But I think I can just get another straight stem from MM

Now to start looking for a nice pipe

I did post in the B/S/T that I was willing to trade some really good cigars (FFOX...) for one
