Just opened a sealed tin of Ferndown Red & Orange from an ebay score about a month ago. The seller claimed it was 10+ years old, and the tin looks about right for that. No rust outside but pretty rusted under the paper liner inside. The liner is still completely intact. Tobacco is in nice shape with a fluffy texture after loosening it, and not dried out at all. The blend is 'Red Virginia and Oriental with some Orange Carolina'. I don't know what orange carolina is. I'll be back after smoking a bowl, cheers.

I always check the auction site but it usually gets too spendy for me. That is a good score!!
