I just popped a tin of Temple Bar, and see what looks like a small fuzzy spot on one side. Definitely looks like mold.
I sliced off a 1/8 inch slice from that side, jarred the rest, and put the slice back in the tin. Hopefully, nothing happens.
How long should I give it to see if it grows? A couple weeks? Or is that enough to send it back?
Wouldn't a very light spritz of distilled water in the tin, and some warmth speed up the test process?

Looks like plume
I wouldn't mess around trying to grow it, I'd just call or email and see what they want to do.Last edited by Emperor Zurg; 02-20-2017 at 10:36 AM.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

...or they just want your tobacco back so they can smoke it themselves. Plume on pipe tobacco is very rare

LOL. I like to snort the fuzzy plume! It makes my sinuses feel funny after a couple weeks! Originally Posted by Emperor Zurg

Looks like mold to me. Those little branching structures are fungus stolons.
