How old is too old for tinned tobacco?

[NeverBend]

Pete, you really know your stuff! I just sent them an email about it. I only opened one tin; I put it in two half-pint jars.

Hi Haebar,

Just going from memories. I sold them for a lot of years but only bought some to smoke for myself just the other day. Ironic.

A lot of people are paying big money for old unopened tins but few will ever be able to get them as old as yours. May I ask which tin had he price label?

Enjoy!

I just packed them in bubble wrap last night. It was either the Virginia No. 1 or the Symphony.

Sorry it took so long to answer but it is on the Symphony tin; I have wrapped them in bubble wrap for now.

Hi Haebar,

The label being on the Symphony can't make it any younger. I'd like to know when MacBaren was first imported because my gut is that you have at least one and probably a cache from their earliest days of importation.

OK, now the report on how it smokes should follow .

A sticker on the back says:

I will review it when I recuperate from this cold.

I got well and smoked some of the Virginia No. 1 and wrote a review:

It is one of the best tobacco experiences in memory. I still have one sealed tin of it and a little less than half of an open tin in a Mason jar. I have not opened any of the other tins.
