I've got a lovely new Schwalbe smart Sam plus on the Typhoon's back wheel. So I confidently went along the canal and got a puncture.
At first I was cursing the Schwalbe but when I took the tube out I found a tiny pinhole in it but no sign of anything sticking in or through the tyre. I stuck a patch on and cycled home. It's still fully inflated. It's got me beat, the hole is right in the centre of the tube where you'd expect it to be if a thorn or something had come through the tyre.
