There are approximately 10-12 standard 1.2-ounce cans of dip in a Stokers tub.
A Stokers tub typically contains 3.5 ounces of loose-cut chewing tobacco, equivalent to about 10-12 pre-portioned 1.2-oz cans by volume. The exact count varies slightly due to packing density, but most users estimate 10-12 cans' worth per tub. Loose tobacco offers cost savings compared to canned alternatives.
How Stokers Tub Sizes Compare to Cans
| Product Type | Weight | Equivalent Cans (1.2 oz each) | Cost Efficiency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stokers Tub (Loose) | 3.5 oz | 10-12 cans | $$ (Most affordable per oz) |
| Single Can (Portioned) | 1.2 oz | 1 can | $$$ (Convenience premium) |
| Bulk Pouch (Loose) | 5 oz | 14-15 cans | $ (Best bulk value) |
Key Factors Affecting the Count
- Packing Density: Loose tobacco settles differently than pre-packed cans, slightly altering volume.
- Moisture Content: Fresher tubs may weigh slightly more, reducing the equivalent can count.
- Measurement Method: Scooping vs. weighing yields minor variations (use a scale for precision).
How to Measure Your Own Tub
- Weigh an empty container (tare weight).
- Fill with tobacco and subtract the tare weight to get net ounces.
- Divide by 1.2 oz (standard can size) for an approximate count.
- Example: 3.5 oz tub ÷ 1.2 oz = ~10.4 cans.
