A tin of 1998 McClelland Christmas Cheer is currently worth about $46, based on recent eBay sales. That might not be a bad retirement investment. Of course, back in 1998, not many people were cellering Christmas Cheer, so there is a small supply available now, and if the number of pipe smokers declines over the next 16 years, then the market will shrink....
There have to be some commodities speculators here. What say thee? Is pipe tobacco, carefully selected, a good investment, or should I stick with my oddly-shaped vegetable collection?
