Hi Brian - Man you are way ahead of me on this stuff....I have not seen any of these tins before. The Neiman Marcus one's are a bit steep, though at $20 a tin....
Thanks for the head's up on these tins. I went ahead and bought some. I just hope my wife doesn't get her hopes up when she sees a package arrive from N-M! ...
I just received a tin from a coworker I've never seen before-- sweetriot 'peaces' of intense yum Granted they're not mints, but they are tasty 100% cacao nibs...
I was at the all candy expo last week http://candyaddict.com/blog/?s=all+candy+expo and saw (and got) a bunch of new tins. I need to take a picture of all the...
I reviewed them a while back: http://candyaddict.com/blog/2006/01/09/review-sweetriot-cacao-nibs/ (they are wonderful). They also had a limited edition...
I knew I should've searched the addict's attic before "announcing" a "new" find ;-) I haven't tried the cinnamon yet, but I completely agree on the tasty nibs....
OK...so it's that time of the year again, when everyone that is a serious collector gets new mint tins for Christmas. My sister and brother-in-law always give...

Not many new tins to report. I'm primarily an Altoid collector. I probably have 50 or 60 of those. The other 70 tins are various mints. I don't do candy...
I received an adorable tin today-- Ducky Mints from Bath & Body Works. I've never seen a bathtub-shaped tin before, complete with feet and tasty, yellow...

Since joining this group, I've been introduced to a couple tins that I would've missed out on, in particular the clever "Embittermints" and the Neiman Marcus...
Hello, My name is Jonathan. I am a professional magician. I came about collecting mint tins because of a trick I created that uses one. The tin I use is a very...
Hey mint tin collectors, this is Phil in Memphis. I don't have pics yet, but wanted to let you know that my latest is an Elvis Presley mint tin. The kicker,...
Oh man...I love those! Anybody else seen the elvis tins? Your humble moderator, quarlescj ================= is it this one? http://candyaddict. com/blog/...
Yup... those are pretty cool. I particularly like the "Blue Hawaii" vanilla mints. I have them on my wall at work (you can see them on the far, right side...
Welcome aboard Jonathan! You are correct about the difficulty in finding the Altoids "Tiny Tins". eBay seems to be the only reliable source these days. Believe...
