I like strange...

Everyone likes a little strange once in a while. But when tobacco goes strange it's not a good thing.

Does anyone know how many tins of Cringle Flake were produced this year? I can't seem to find a number anywhere.

Not enough....☹

I'm curious if you or anyone else here have any insight on how they age these Virginia's at the factory. I always pictured they were just bundles of dry leaf stored in a container sitting somewhere in a dark corner until they rehydrate it and use it in a blend. Am I close on this assumption or am I way off? If that is how they do it, would the leaf still age in the terms that we often use it on the forums? I imagine, it would still mellow out but not as rapidly when it's moist, pressed and sealed in a tin. Again, I could be way off base here. I'm a lover of tobacco but I know close to nothing about it. Thoughts?

That is a great question, and I don't have an answer. But I'd hazard a guess that it's some of both.

Reference?

Source is Mr. Jeremy McKenna, President, Sutliff Tobacco Company.

via a Facebook thread on a pipe tobacco forum (can’t remember which one). I asked him directly and he advised 10k tins. This was last week sometime. I was surprised to see him so accessible via FB. He was fully engaged with the group, answering questions about release data, blend composition, etc.

I call that authoritative.

I'd say you'd have no regrets if they did run out. Nothing compares with quality time with your daughter. I'd trade my entire cellar to spend more quality time with my daughter any day of the week. Now, when she's a teenager... I might be singing a different tune!

Fully agree.

I went for a modest 3 tins. I’m sure I’ll like a red Virginia based VaPer, so why not?

I found a tin and brick and mortar. Not sure what I will do with it. Maybe trade it
