HH Vintage Syrian - Smoke, Cellar, or sell?

[wolflarsen]

never dreamed the tins I kept would sell at anywhere near these prices

What are tins selling for these days?
I have a few tins I could part with but am not up to speed on secondary market prices.

Right now it's fluctuating a bit. I'd give a ballpark but I don't want to give bad info. If I were looking for prices, I'd check the sold listings on tinbids.

Theirs a 3.5 oz tin on pipestud for a hundred. I'm sure he will get that for it.

I’d smoke it. Wait until it cools down if the weather will prevent you from enjoying it. Syrian Latakia is delightful. To me it’s like a good Cuban cigar vs a good Nicaraguan.

I say sell. I have a fair amount jarred and tried it fresh and have been underwhelmed every time I try it. I never dreamed the tins I kept would sell at anywhere near these prices.

If you still have tins on hand that you'd like to dispose of, I may be interested in them.

I'm pretty sure I'm out. One might show up in the back of my cellar but that's not terribly likely.

Hmm. Any idea of a good source for them? I did the stupid thing and passed up a few tins in a B&M not long ago.

A lucky find is about all you can hope for if you want a reasonable price. If you're willing to shell out then Tinbids, Pipestud or the classifieds here are all options.

Seeing as it's been discontinued since 2017/18, I'd say your best bet is paying a ridiculous premium online...

Or, you can go door-to-door and check all your local B&Ms.

Just be patient and keep looking. Don’t fall for the ridiculous prices. I got mine fairly cheap.

Right on, thank you very much.
