In a previous thread, I expressed some concern over a swollen tin of Temple Bar, in light of the Carolina Red debacle.
But my tin, after opening, was mold-free and delicious.

Tin will be replaced. And no I had been smoking this stuff actively just opened the tin today and noticed the mold. I didn't jar it yet.
If it's not sealed air-tight, how could it build pressure and swell? Maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning.
Don't worry guys, it's all under control, Chasingembers had the only 2 moldy tins of bijou, the mould problem with C&D has been taken care of. And you can simply exchange the tins of something that you bought for a different C&D offering that you didn't intend to buy, nothing to see here, carry on.
No it isn't.
You folks may recall the Carolina Red fiasco included moldy tobacco and tins that were not bulged
I think it's time for someone to say "Show me the Mold"
I'm not a C&D apologist by any stretch but I do think some folks here seem well prepared to over-react.
I'm with Bigpond on this. A swollen tin is not a guarantee that there is something "wrong" with the tobacco. Also, there is just as much chance for a newly packed tin to swell as there is for an old one. It all depends on how fast the fermentation process is happening.
That being said, it doesn't mean that there isn't the possibility of mold or something else going on. Anything that uses Red Virginia should get extra attention, as it's my understanding that it has a greater chance of mold, etc.
Best approach is to open the tin, inspect the tobacco and transfer to a mason jar. No need to get the pitchforks and torches out. :roll:
