Frog Morton's Cellar and C&D Star of the East Flake

[georged]

I found a sealed, undamaged, 50 gram tin of each in a box while looking for something else. The FM is from Jan 2012, and the C&D from Nov of 2006.

The C&D tin is also significantly---but not overly---bulged.

Don't know anything about either, especially given the massive sea change regarding tobacco production and availability the past few years.

Are they ---

1) Just another tobacco I should open and smoke

2) Special enough to save for a group pass-around with friends

or

3) Special enough to send to one of those tobacco auction sites, because they're now unobtainium worth the price of a new Lear jet (or maybe just a Bentley).

Thanks in advance for your opinionificationary responsification.

1 or 2. Depends on how special your friends are to you.

The FMC is probably worth $60+. The C&D could be worth $40+ as it’s Syrian IIRC.
Share or sell at your discretion. Check to verify that the C&D tin hasn’t rotted out.

Smoke em. A bowl or two to taste and hopefully savor, alone. Then share.

 

[Chalaw87]

I’d say 1 then 2

 

[Danimal92sport]

Good advice here. Those are keepers. For yourself and people you love and who have good taste, of course . Hang on to them for a special occasion?

4) mail it to me and I will properly dispose of said items

 

[verporchting]

Bandwagon for 1 or 2 because I’m an individual (mooooo)

 

[kcghost]

Smoking them seems like the way to go.

 

[anotherbob]

Just to be different, I suggest using them as confetti basically you could become the tobaccoy straight version of Rip Taylor.

 

[mingc]

Georged, none of these tobaccos are going to kick you up the ass like your preferred Kentuckies. Sell 'em or give them away.

I'm your friend, not ?

Smoke & share. Memories will endure, but the pittance you receive will soon be forgotten!!!

 

[jguss]

Memories will endure

With this crowd? Most of us have our home addresses pinned to our shirts by our wives when we venture outside the house.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Both very nice blends. I don't think they'd gather enough to make them worth seeking. If you have some pipe buddies, share them at a get together.
