Hello dear Pipe enthusiast friends!
I have been a pipe smoker and fan since I was 17 years old, I guess I got interested when as a child I would be around my father who old smoke a pipe once in a while.
He was not a very connoisseur on the different Tobaccos we have available for our delight (thanks god!) and would only stick to the poor aromatic brands we had available in Brazil during the early 80s.
Myself, on the other hand always liked trying different tobaccos and as a business consultant would always be buying new tins on my business trips abroad.
The thing is, my love for the pipe is a on and off affair. I smoke for a while, then it just happens I leave it for a year, maybe two, then I return to it... I guess it all depends on where Im living at the moment, who my current wife is , and how bossy she is regarding smoke in our home! :lol:
That said, Im now (yaaaaaayy!!!) living on one of my love moments with the pipe, and last week I found in my stuff a nice tin of a Balkan Sasieni, which I really love.
The thing is, it was not a sealed tin... It was probably opened 4 years ago with Im not mistaken.... I smoked probably 3 or 4 bows of it and forgot to properly place it in a mason jar.
I decided to try it just a couple of hours ago, and although it was really really dry (on the crispy side) it kind of taste quite all right! Maybe its just me that lost my taste for a good tobacco.. I really don't know.
I know I can still try to rehydrate it and it might get even a bit better but my doubt is: Is it okay to smoke tobacco from an opened tin that was lying around for 4 years? Or should I just toss it away?
Thanks in advance for your expertise considerations!
Kindest Regards;
