Snus in a tin?

[Solanum]

Hi! New to the world of snus. My variation on the familiar story: got myself hooked on tobacco after a move to the Bay area, where ganja, which I favor, is commonly smoked with tobacco. I had read about Swedish snus years ago on Wikipedia, and a friend turned me on to the Camel stuff, which I enjoyed other than the Splenda and artificial flavours (though the Mellow reminds me of Black and Mild, which is kind of nice in a nostalgic way).

Found SnusOn, ordered up a bunch of snus, mostly portions. Tried my first los yesterday, Ettan, and I have to say, what's all the fuss? you push it together, stick it under your lip and it feels good. I somehow gathered the impression that there was some 'art' to it.

So the point of this thread: Which snus, portions or los, comes in a metal tin? Because I'll buy at least one of anything I can get that comes in a tin, it's the best thing about the Camel kind.

All the mocca's I have gotten are in a metal tin.

Guys help me out, I can't think this morning...(OMG, it is afternoon, I must need more coffee)

There is a bullet proof can made by General, although I don't know where to buy them???

I just throw mine out so I can't go look and see what all were metal/aluminum. Boys help a snus sister out here.....


EDIT:

Well, Lucky Strike just isn't available to the US, but neither is Romeo y Julieta, and Montecristo.

Yea, I was just including them for the sake of completeness.

When was Offroad in a metal tin? I've only seen them in plastic!

They changed over a couple years ago. They were in a plain glossy black tin with a sticker. I'll edit if I can find an old picture. I like the old tins, but for what Offroad sells for, it probably wasn't economically viable.

Lucky Strike, too.

I thought the new ones were plastic. I included it in my dead category.

You're thinking PM1847. They were metal, now plastic. As far as I know, Lucky is still the same.

Are you sure? I know they redesigned the tin, and got rid of the hermetic sealing. They also put an ashtray in the bottom. I haven't had the new version, so I don't know for sure. I could very well be wrong though.

The can of LSB I got last month was metal, I remember that. I actually took out 2 portions and sent the rest to Chad. It was a fresh can, so unless something has changed since Jan they are metal.
