85 years do I dare

[rigmedic1]

Do it! I would, lol

Outrageous score there pawpaw.

Your thought of taking it to the Richmond show is so very right on. Don't open it until you are actually at the show. A tin such as that would be best appreciated in a group of like minded folk.

Even if it were somehow, "off", in taste the drumroll moment when opened and tried will still be so much more than if done on your own.
Luck!

well i did a google search and it looks like hobie has been looking for this stuff for some time and he lives fairly close to me if i cant make it to the show i will be visiting him

Open it up and smoke it. It should still be smokeable, I can't account for the taste though!
Just pour the contents into a bowl and lay a damp paper towel over the bowl (dont let the towel touch the tobacco).

 

[portascat]

Smoke it. Hell, for what you would sell it for, you would likely pay to smoke a bowl of it.

 

[portascat]

Hell I will trade you Sir Hubert for half the tin. You will come out way ahead.

 

[pawpaw]

when i open it Scatman i will save you a bowl so you can fill Sir Hubert just need to PM me your addy

 

[portascat]

No shit?

 

[pawpaw]

[portascat]

Steve Fallon might be able to give you an estimate on what it's worth, he specializes in vintage tobacco. He's a great guy and very knowledgable.

i plan on it now what should i smoke it in? i am thinking my WDC wellington or maybe the meer that has been shipped of to the uncle's shop for a new stem

 

[baronsamedi]

I always smoke new baccys in the Meer.

 

[hobie1dog]

Oh man....... What store did you find that in? I check the store downtown monthly and I ain't never found anything like that I work in Statesville. Let's get together and smoke some of that stuff, cause I have a tin that was gifted to me recently that is about 5 years old that we can compare yours to.

 

[romeowood]

if i didnt have to go back to work next week i was tempted to go up to C&D's and see if Craig would like to compare this to his Epiphany

Rehydrate it and share it with Craig, Hobie, and whomever else you can find. Make it an occasion, an experience like that is priceless.

 

[lonestar]

Awesome find ! I'd try it if it was mine.

 

[pawpaw]

well i am gonna be smoking it just now it is a matter of when and where and what in

 

[antipodesman]

Very curious about the old Canadian $1 bill in your photos. Haven't seen one of those in many years.

 

[pawpaw]

yeah i got that out a couple of weeks ago to use as a background for my Dr Plumb Canadian pipe had that bill from when i was a pup it is in real bad shape but i like it. I hate that i sold my canadian silver back when silver was at $27 but i do still have all my big pennies
here is the pic

Smoke em if you got em. There's few ppl on the earth that can say they have smoked something that old. No amount of munny is worth memories; both good and bad.
I do hope you'll take more pictures and do a solid review of it. Take it seriously. It was made before you were born.
Happy smoking. :puffpipe:
