Hi guys

I got a question,
Is it possible that the rubber seal of aged tins can take the smell of the tobacco?
Because I got a Robert McConnel Scottish cake and Robert McConnell oriental tins and both are about 7+years old.
And I can smell a faint tobacco smell from them. I also checked if the seal wasn't broken.

Could be that your tin was stored with other tobaccos if your vacuum seal is intact.

I know exactly what you are talking about brendan. I keep all of my tins in a large plastic container and every time I crack the lid I get a faint smell of tobacco from the tins. After a couple years of paranoia and frequent seal-checking I decided to invest in some mylar bags and sealed up two tins (same blend) per bag of those that I knew I wouldn't get to for 10+ years. I'm not suggesting you run out and mylar bag all of your sealed tins....I just took that extra precaution for peace of mind. To each his own.

I smell a faint smell of tobacco on some of my sealed tins. Everytime they were fine. Opened a bunch that smelled and contents were safe and secure. Used to worry about the smell but not anymore.
