    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    So the problem remains and has now spread to bulk blends. I guess that kills the theory of the cardboard inserts in the tins as the root of all evil. To fully resolve this issue I have a simple solution. Make up a large batch of Old Joe Krantz, enough to finally get rid of all the red VA in...

    Put down that skunky beer and walk away. In other words, don't even think of clicking on it. Mods should be able to remove the offending code.

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    That's not mold, that's a box of cigars. However, if this is what you were trying to post from your photobucket account, then yes, that is mold on some un-named tobacco...

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Wow Dan, that's impressive. First of all Mr. Troy was/is a smart man. I never claimed to be nor am I. I'm just stating facts. The facts are there has and continues to be a serious problem with blends from said company containing red VA. The facts are if you mention said blend and/or the company...

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    Well Dan since you quoted me I'll say this... Are they still selling new blends with the magical red VA? Carolina Red anyone? Bijou anyone?? Temple Bar anyone??? Let's forget about problems with oh shall we say, Kajun Kake. How about the best selling tinned tobacco currently on one of the major...

    What To Do About Mold In Unnamed Manufacturer Tins

    100% behind what Adam (click) and Dave have said. They're compensating customers, which is good. They're not doing enough to address the issue, which is bad. More time and effort needed in QC, less in promoting and pumping out new blends. My 2 coppers worth. Also, don't blame the mod that closed...

    WARHORSE BAR/GREEN HAS ARRIVED!

    @cosmic....yes there have been "write ups" detailing the difference. Some right here in fact. Crumble Cake and Cake are one in the same, as far as ingredients go. The difference between those two are a> time in the press and b> how "hard" is the squeegie :) Not saying this isn't a fine tobacco...

    WARHORSE BAR/GREEN HAS ARRIVED!

    It has nothing to do with the shape of the compressed "chunk" of tobacco. It has nothing to do with the density of the "chunk". It has everything to do with the ingredients. Is it whole leaf, or pieces of whole leaf tobacco, or is it tobacco that has already been cut into smaller pieces and...

    WARHORSE BAR/GREEN HAS ARRIVED!

    Judging by what Mr. 2-1-5 posted, specifically the picture of the open tin, I would say I'm a bit disappointed. Looks more like a cake than a plug. However, pictures can be deceiving.

    So What Are You Not Smoking!

    "while I realize that their contents are just tobacco" Wisdom in the typed word.

    Thoughts on Lasse?

    It was popular on the airways back in the 50's, 60's, and into the early 70's in the US. Anyone remember that?

    PAD - Scottie Butterscotch Bing

    Nice pipe Sparks. And as a man who likes burley, I think, with the occasional sweet tooth I think Scotty's Butternut Burley would make for a fitting bowl of weed in that beauty.
