That's a legitimate concern that I sometimes ponder, being a fellow Canadian. We are headed in the direction of Australia and their $140 tin prices and import fees/bans on anything tobacco related. I don't think any of the tobacco will be unsmokable within the 50 year mark, given its in jars or sealed tins. Christ, 30 year old tins of McClelland are fetching insane prices and they just keep selling and selling, and apparently getting better and better with more age. I wouldn't be concerned about it turning to dust in your lifetime
Yes I've heard some companies are basing health insurance benefits on the results of a nicotine test, wonder how long one needs to abstain to come up negative for nicotine?
Nicotine and cotinine will not appear on a test after 4 days.
Wait what? Where in holy hell are you not allowed to smoke in your own house? And how in the fk is it even enforceable??
Where some HUD regulations determined it to be a lease violation.
Nosy neighbors.
Oh well yeah leasing/renting you have to follow their rules and I've never been anywhere that allows smoking. I thought you meant home owners.
I knew using steroids was gonna catch up with us eventually
The price for McClelland tins is based mostly on mystique. It's just tobacco. Just because someone is willing to sell a kidney to buy a tin doesn't mean it's inherently better than any other tobacco. I have some 20 year old No. 24 Virginia that is very good, but that doesn't guarantee all the tobacco I have in jars and tins is going to be good in 50 years. The way I understand it, just like wine, tobacco has a peak followed by a long slow decline. Whether it becomes "unsmokable", well, I started out on Rothmans King Size back in the day, and those were definitely unsmokeable, but...I smoked them. If I live long enough and my health holds up I'll probably be smoking 45 year Pegasus one day. I'll let you know if it's still smokeable.
Pollyanna speaking here. My 9-10 dollar tins are all 30-50% higher than they were in 2012. My pounds of bulk Samuel Gawith flakes cost me 52-55 a pound, not a half a pound like it is now.
My bags of Esoterica Stonehaven are all 35.00 for an 8oz bag. My Mac Baren Old Dark Fired I paid either 9.99 or 10.99 for a 3.5 oz tin and now they are 22.95 for a 3.5 ounce tin.
Discontinued blends that I loaded up on were Rotary Navy Cut, Brigham Klondike Gold, Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, Butera Dark Stoved.
States no longer letting tobacco shipped into their borders is a thing. excise taxes on pipe tobacco keep going up. dealers are now expected to collect some of these taxes.
I am going to give one I told you so and then shut my pipe hole.

Oh wow so it's actually an MM blend. I wasn't aware that MM was part of the Mac Baren line up. Interesting.
