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!!!

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.

 

[Pipercat]

I was able to pick up a tin of FM On The Town from 2017, and sadly it has either faded or I just don't like it. Was like smoked lemon yogurt. Still a nice blend, but it seems time didn't favor it. Never tried it when it was in production, so I only have this experience to go on. This is a good thing for me financially, lol.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

I'd definitely open and smoke them. Those are two of my go to blends; however, I only have one tin of FMC left. Unfortunately. Open and smoke and if not your preference then definitely share with friends. They'll appreciate it.

I do not!

Instead, I wear a tag around my neck that simply says, "If found, please return to..."

Makes me wonder what else might be found. Do you suppose that Kevin would fund a dig at georged's house?
