I concur- most of the time they are a Lane or Sutliff blend that has been "rebranded". Some are good, but some are real goopers. It is not always the case, but very often, you get what you pay for. I get close to 20 pipes out of a 50g tin. With that yield, I'm willing to pay the difference for something like Dan tobacco or Dunhill, rather than saving a few bucks on a cheaper brand. Some cheap tobacco is a winner, but you have to search for it.
