look around the base of the lid that twists off, and you will see a wee depression, horizontal and parallel to the lip of the lid. lift there with a coin (or the pipe bail works REAL well for that), and you will hear a hiss as the vacuum seal breaks. then twist off like normal.
like clint says, they stay best in the tins, but imma guess you are going to try a little bit of everything, so they will probably be getting popped sion. o)

Pipe nail?! *doh*
Of course. It's right there in my kit, and yet, I go running to the toolbox for a screwdriver.
a coin will work as well if you're in a pinch. I love hearing these newb stories of trying to open tins. I remember my very first tin- Dunhill EMP. I twisted on that sum bitch so hard I almost made my hands bleed. Then i saw the depression and was like- oh....:hammersmaPipe nail?! *doh*

I did that trying to open DE tins for the baccy pass. My hands were raw. I even tried using a set of those silicone jar-opener grippy pads, and completely shredded them!a coin will work as well if you're in a pinch.

.That little nugget doesn't show up in any of the pipe starter 101 threads... Must be a bit of a rite of passage!
yeah pretty much- It's even funnier in person. At the cigar shop a while back a guy came in and had a pipe with him, purchased a tin, and sat down. Clearly he had never had a tin before and I sat there almost crying watching him try to open it. I then had mercy on him and helped him. BUT it was great! What makes it so great is that we've all been there. I'm with you- a rite of passages for sure....I did that trying to open DE tins for the baccy pass. My hands were raw.

My end from thedismaltrade landed today. From what little I know, I can tell I have a great selection of baccys to choose from here. To say I am excited doesn't even come close! Thanks so much Zack!
I would like to join the newb list. Been a cigar smoker for over 20 years. I did give the pipe thing a whirl about the same time I started cigar smoking, but never found anything I liked or that was "strong" enough for my taste. Hoping that maybe this can resurrect that. Look forward to sharing on the pipe side.
