I recently cracked an old tin of Bengal. From the early 80's. I figured you guys would enjoy seeing it.

Damn Photobucket with popups that won't go away! here's the image.
Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Photobucket; Dropbox, etc.), or on virtually any site, select the full image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose copy image location. Now paste that URL (the full web address) into the box that pops up under IMG in the compose reply window of the thread in which you want the photo to show. Bingo; now you've posted a photo directly!

Looks amazing! Oh how I wish I was able to have tasted the original stuff! Enjoy, that there looks to be in grade A condition.
:Well gents,
First off, the tin was in supreme condition. Not at all dried out.
I tried it first in a castello #11. It was disappointing to say the least.
I gave it another shot and put it in a cob, and holy smokes. Thats what I was looking for.
It is the cleanest smoking bowl I have had, and burned down to the the whitest blue ash I have come across. It leaves a coating in your mouth that is sublime. The latakia isn't a bomb, but its definitely still there. The virginias shine, with almost a woody earthy taste that seems to come from those old virginia leaves. About midway through, you notice a nice back and forth of sweet earthy virginias, and an enticing peaty campfire latakia that hits in just the right amount.
I can give a few folks a flake or two, if that is allowed.

Well, i've been trying to obtain this gem for a while and its good to know that its seemingly worth the effort to obtain. Maybe one day.
There is a dealer selling sealed 50g tins of the stuff from the early 1980s for $145 a tin and I think he has three or four tins - seems lot $ but some people will happily pay that kind on money for that illusive Unicorn Fart! :rofl:
