    Help Date my Tobacco

    I bought these tins of Dunhill Nightcap and Royal Yacht many years ago - maybe 15 - 20 years ago. Stupidly, I didn't write the date on them. Can someone decipher the labels and tell me if there is date information on them? Thanks.

    Escudo Alternative

    I just read an old article on the GL Pease site where he opened some very old tins of Escudo and compared them very favorably with Pease's Fillmore. Worth a try.

    Escudo Alternative

    Haha, yeah. Escudo sold out but I knew it when it was cool. Elizabethan Mixture is a standard benchmark VaPer, I believe. I'm branching out into that world and enjoy them both tremendously.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    I love Royal Yacht. I wish I had bought more years ago. A 25 year old tin of Royal Yacht to me defines the phrase "holy smoke." When Lane Ltd. was in Tucker, GA.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    Yes, it is from Burns in Chatta-vegas! It's fantastic leaf. I've never actually had any fresh Escudo so I'm going to get a tin to compare - plus lots more to age. Most of my old stuff is English, pretty latakia heavy (lots of Dunhill Nightcap for instance) so I hope it will still be tasty...

    Great Britain Cracking Down?

    Yes indeed. I would love to be able to get Danish and German stuff sent direct.

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2024?***

    Opened a tin of some of my older stock. Absolutely superb. Extremely cool smoke - never went out once all the way to the bottom of the bowl. The Virginias have aged fantastically.

    Great Britain Cracking Down?

    Aren't there plenty of good tobacconists in the UK? Of course they should be allowed to order from whomever they want but I would have thought they had good beer and good tobacco well sorted.

    Greetings from East Tennessee

    Hello everyone...just getting back into pipes after a several year hiatus. I've enjoyed pipe smoking for over 40 years, but in fits and starts. I have a pretty good sized tobacco cellar that I haven't looked at in ages, but there are some rarities in there including several large tins of...
