Last week I was fortunate to nab a sealed tin of Edgeworth Sliced Pipe Tobacco which I have dated to be CA 1959-60 due to the lack of things that would have been on the tin prior to and after.

I tried some of the tobacco right out of the tin even though it was definitely dry and in order to prevent a pipe from burning in case it smoked too hot I used the Black Rock Cob which is like soap stone and won't burn. The pipe smoked cool and the flavor was incredible.
The following photos are of the seal being broken:

Tobacco removed to separate it to ready it for storage and hydrating.

I have hydrated approx 1 1/2 oz to my satisfaction and enjoyed a wonderful smoke of 55 y/o Edgeworth Sliced in the 65 y/o, birth year, Dunhill Shell Group 2.

fishnbanjo:
I can almost smell the enticing aroma exuding from those august aged flakes!
In my cellar is one remaining unopened tin of 1990s vintage (Lane-era) Edgeworth Sliced, as well as a half-tin worth of flakes in a jar. I know how good it smells, so I can just imagine how much better is the Larus & Brother product.
Incidentally, I have your exact (but empty) tin sitting here on my desk.
Smoking a tobacco such as this essentially time-travel, and I wish you many, many pleasant journeys, Sir!

Thanks huntertrw, that is one of the sites I used in formulating a date of my tobacco, definitely a great source.

The tin looks cool. The tobacco looks cool. The smoke must be a real treat. Congratulations!
