What's a Prince-Albert-in-a-can can? I'm a container lover and am always interested in neat ones.

looking box I have ever done!

Prince Albert Pipe Tobacco used to be sold in tin cans - they may
still sell them, but I doubt it. They've become collector's items.
Look at ebay:

Okay, NOBODY steal my can and sell it on ebay! I just
thought it was a funny container due to the classic
crank call-
"Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
"Yes."
"You better let him out!"
