    PSA: Check Your Hearth & Home 8 oz Tins For Rust.

    I just had that happen with 3 out of 10 of these newly acquired 2003/2004 GL Pease tins. Rust was on the inside of the can along the seam and the tobacco totally dried out and off-smelling. Luckily I got them for a steal and both cans of Bohemian Scandal were still in perfect condition.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    The guy who sold it to me warned me that it tastes horrible and is an absolute nicotine bomb. I haven’t had a chance to find out myself yet. I’ll report back the results when I do.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    I bought it off an antiques collector/dealer who lives near me. He previously lived in South America and brought back all sorts of oddities from the region.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    I just got this Amazonian Nicotina Rustica. Not sure what to do with it, but $15 for around 2lbs of rare jungle tobacco I couldn't pass it up. It seems to be wrapped up in some sort of tree bark.
