1999 Tin FVF, Smoke or Sell?

[bent1]

Have 8 lbs of FVF from 2008 & 2009, and it’s scrumptious. Have a 50g tin from 1999. Without popping the tin of course, wonder how much better an extra 10 yrs would be? Just curious of your experience or thoughts.

Easy answer, SMOKE IT!

 

[cigrmaster]

Definitely smoke it and enjoy. If you decide to smoke it I am sure many of us would be interested in your impressions.
Even if you sold iit for say 150, is that money going to change your lifestyle in anyway?

Listen to Cigrmaster! Smoke it.

And take some pics!

Think, if you sell it - for all time it will be nagging at you - how was that vintage of leaf I never got to taste? Lol

Life is too short not to drink good bourbon and smoke good tobacco. If you had multiple tins and didn't like it then you sell it. You have one tin and since you have 8 pounds of not so aged stuff I would guess you like it. Age only helps it out. Let us know how good it is.

The thread may now be closed. ? ?

Am I too late to put in my two cents?



smoke it.

 

[augiebd]

I’m also voting smoke it.
+1 to what @k9shag says about this.

The question is whether to smoke a 21 year old tin of one of the very best Virginia Flakes ever produced or...
what was the question?

Potting soil, I understand it makes great potting soil

 

[gervais]

Did you smoke it?!

 

[magicpiper]

If you sold it, what would you do with the money? Probably buy more tobacco. Would that new tobacco be as good as a tin of 21 year old FVF? I think we all know that answer! Just smoke it and provides lots of details for the forum. Be sure to include pictures!

I have a can of 1992 McClelland Christmas Cheer tucked away. I’m might pop the tin in 2022 so that it’s an even 30 years old.

There might be some benefit to selling it. What could you get for it? Is there a special pipe you have your eye on?

 

[davidsaulmarshall]

Smoke it and take some photos for posterity!

 

[beezer]

I'd sell it and purchase a bunch of blends you've never tried before. You've got 8 lbs of 10+ year old FVF already, which will serve you well in the future. The proceeds from an old 50g tin will surely net you ten times that amount in new stuff you've been curious about.

We want to see those flakes up close! +1 for smoke it!
