Bulging Tins

I popped a 2004 tin of Briar Fox on IPSD and the protuberance was lovely :o

That is a very good way of looking at it! It is kin of like the little red pop-up timer on your turkey :D

I tried to take some pictures, but it is kind of hard to see tell.

Yeah I can't see it from the pictures. You better send it to me for inspection. I can report back to the forum with my findings. Oh, I may also need a tin that you believe to be un-bulged. Just to compare. I want to be sure here.

I'm glad someone made the obligatory "Nope. It's gone bad! You'd better send it to me!" or I was going to! ;)

Hey guys, this is nothing to joke about, 90% of all bulging tobacco tins have been found to contain minuit particles of mold, containing naturally grown spoors of Arsenic, deadly Carcinogens, and the Bubonic Plague. Fortunately, I have received formal training, for the disposal of such tainted Tobacco Tins. So, fortunately for you guys, you can send them to me for proper disposal. I will provide you with a receipt for the tins you send, to protect you from future legal actions against you!

PM for my address.
