It was a cheap buy...

    Verifying Date of Tin of Tobacco?

    I was wondering how one goes about verifying the age of a Tin of Tobacco. Is there a good reference to various tins and their design work or something to judge its date? Also, I would be interested in how you are cataloging your cellar collections for keeping track of dates etc.
