Just opened this older tin. I was wondering if you guys have an idea of its age?

I do not have anything to contribute other than that is some good looking tobacco. You need to let us know how it smokes. Some posts on Etsy suggest 1970's.

Had a tin like that a few years ago.. pretty spicy stuff, I was surprised. Where Dark Twist has merely aged, seems like Royal Twist (Now Roll Cake) used to be pretty fierce stuff.

It does say Fireside Industries on the back. The latakia has faded with age, I only get the lightest hint of perique. Mostly favored by the virginias which have the familiar flavorings MacBaren. I usually cant smoke most of their blends because of the bite, but this one has mellowed with age. It tastes good with no bite. Happy camper with this one
