It would be interesting to try a "new" tin of this if such a thing existed.
At our pipe club meeting, the reknowned reviewer before me brought an old tin of this and needless to say, I was watering at the mouth to try it!
The tobacco was in good condition, very dark and had sugar crystals all over it. Rubbing it out I detected no casings or additional flavorings. Brother, this tobacco looked "ripe indeed"!
However, the first fourth of the bowl was hot and bland. After the first fourth bowl the tobacco settled down a bit but never really did much other than provide some va/burley flavor that was "middling" at best. Eh...
Could this tobacco have outlived it's usefulness? Well, I'll never know unless a "less ancient" tin can be found.
Truthfully, I'd much rather smoke
flake than this so don't waste your money on an old tin unless you're into the graphics! This IS a 'graphically cool' tin but the tobacco is maudlin.
