I think this is a non-issue. There was a lot of panic when a forum member pointed out some rusting. . . but there wasn't any regard for what that was actually doing to the tin. I recently opened a 10 year old tin of Penzance. While it's not an exact duplicate for the MacBaren tins, it's the same idea. There was rust around the entire top lip of the bottom half of the tin. And the tobacco was absolutely fine. Perfect, in fact. The seal was intact and the rusting had absolutely no effect on the tobacco.

Yep... just got a notice from them about an hour ago. My only past experience with Latakia was with some of the Frog Morton blends which I absolutely hated. At the time I was only smoking aro’s but eventually I could no longer taste or get any satisfaction from them. I got into some various Va’s and VaPer’s and I’m really enjoying them and I hardly touch an aro any longer. So with that, I jumped in and ordered two tins of the HH Latakia Flake and I’ll see how much I like, or dislike this next experience with Latakia. I also ordered some more OGS and some Newminster No.43 Superior Round Slices (which I’ve never tried before). If by chance I dislike the HH Latakia Flake I’ll probably offer it up here and only charge for the shipping. :wink:

Appears to be in stock again; I just picked up ten 100 gram tins. :puffy: And it's 20% off if you buy in multiples of five.
