Found The Long Lost Stash Of Tobacco

That is excellent. That's the kind of story to put a smile on your face.
A few years ago, I thinned the cellar to what I was likely to actually smoke and sent a few hundred tins (mostly Syrian latakia and McCranies) to pipestude (which autocorrect keeps trying to change to pipette...anything you want to tell us, Steve?). I sure wish I'd just lost them in the cellar so I could find them again some day.

Good God!! That's great find. Hope you'll enjoy those baccy and I'll live vicariously through you :

It's funny how we can lose tobacco after many years. I found 7 jars of 2007 Penzance in the back of my closet last Fall that I had forgotten about. Congrats on the discovery!

It seems your autocorrect is still failing you ::
FWIW the autocorrect on my new Kindle Fire is just as bad as I once typed "Marmite is great on hot buttered toast" but I'm so glad I checked it as it had altered 'buttered' to 'buggered'. In fact it did just that when I wrote this!

Very nice find! I love Nightcap. One of my favorites. Would love to smoke some from the Murray's era, just to try it and compare to the most recent production.
I did not log onto the forum or do much reading about pipe tobacco during 2017 through the first half of 2018. After finding out (after the fact) that McClelland had closed, I saw that Dunhill was withdrawing from the pipe tobacco market as well. Having missed out on my opportunity to stock more Frog Morton, I immediately ordered five pounds of bulk Nightcap, plus a couple pounds worth of tins. I'm glad I did, because within a few months, it was no longer available at the major online sites.
Now when I look at my trays of mason jars of Nightcap, it does feel a bit like Christmas :: Finding a few pounds you forgot about / lost would be like finding a few hundred dollar bills in an old pair of jeans

Quite awesome. Talk about making your day. That's like misplacing $750 and finding it over 10 years later with interest having accumulated.
I can guarantee that none of this tobacco will end up on ebay. I may take some to the next CORPS dinner in February though. As far as easing the pain of Dunhill stopping production, it really didn't have that big of an effect on me. Like I said, I was a big fan of the Murray blends. The tobacco that Orlik produced was good and I enjoyed it, but at least for me, something was always missing. This find was more like a "hope springs eternal" thing. It brings back all of the fond memories of a tobacco that has been long gone that suddenly is there again. Kind of like a long lost friend that suddenly returns.
Man after reading your story, I just realized...I have tobacco somewhere hidden as well! Crap.... And I have no idea where....
Last weekend I found a jar crammed solid with Low Country Waccamaw that I thought I'd already smoked.
To say that I was delighted would be a huge understatement ::
