Doesn't seem like a problem but if you are really concerned Cosmic will take them off your hands.
There needs to be a confused emoticon response, maybe one that looks like...Put said tin in sauce pot and boiled it for a half hour. Still stuck on, some discoloration of late, but not much.
Said tin top is Capstan Ready Rubbed, blue label.
I'd presume you can remove a tobacco label similar to a label on a beer bottle. Although I haven't tried and have no current interest in collecting either.Simply trying to recreate the OP's situation to solve the mystery. So far, a simple fail. And I think I'm done.
OTOH, how the hell do you get the labels off without destroying them?
Old thread, but I just read that if you apply a little heat to the back of the lid to soften, the stickers come off more easily.Not like a beer bottle's paste-on label at all. The labels are much thicker, and stuck on real good.
Probably not. You may have sped up the "aging" process a little.In the midst of a move I erroneously put part of my tobacco cellar, comprising my most prized tins, inside of a non temperature controlled storage unit for 5 weeks. I've recovered the box and all of the tins labels are slightly warped, indicating a high temperature inside the unit. The ambient high temps were in the low 80s to low 70s during that time.
Is my cellar ruined?
What do you do for extra hydration? And 100 degree aging? WhoaI put all open blends I don't like, or that taste too young, in a small mason jar, with a little extra hydration, and put them in the trunk of my work car.
After a year of that they come out like ketchupy fermented goodness.
With 100+ temps common enough in the heart of summer, that trunk gets very very warm.
You're fine op.
Barrels of sherry used to be shipped halfway around the globe as ballast to accelerate their aging.I think you should put them in the for sale thread as stoved (insert blend name) and and ask double the regular market value.
