Hi guys,
Been reading the forum occasionally, had to sign up today to get some advice. The story may be a bit on the long side, but bare with me, please.
I had full intentions of adding a few GL Pease blends in my next tobacco order, so I went down to the cellar to see what I have on hand, just to make sure I don't order anything I already have. I donned on me that I have had a couple of GLPease tins opened for a few years - was going to revisit them, but never got around it, so I proceed to just throw them away. I opened the lids, just out of curiosity, to see how dry they've gotten - well, no sir, the tobacco is as wet as the day I got it!!!
Tobacco in the original opened tin, covered just by the plastic lid, for more than 2 years and I can still roll the darn thing in a ball and have my fingers sticky!?!
The two tins in question are Quiet Nights and Meridian. On the bottom of the can there is a retail sticker showing that it was stocked by the store on June 15th 2011, although I purchased and opened them sometime late 2011 or early 2012, I know it was winter and I haven't smoked GL Pease since trying those two blends.
Is it common for GL Pease blends to be loaded so heavily with PG? Anyone with similar experience? I though that Greg was supposed to be making artisan stuff... Weird?
P.S.
Smoked some of the Quiet Nights today, made my pipe gurgle. I may post some pics if I get around it, the tobacco has actually aged a bit, lol.
