I shared the pictures and tin information with C&D in case it would be useful to them. Jeremy responded and offered to replace the tin. Absolutely incredible offer since it was in a jar and not a newly opened tin. I love their tobaccos and on top of that what great people over there!

C&D has always offered to replace moldy tins, but I guess some people still prefer manufacturers to saturate the tobacco with all sorts of chemicals to lower the likelihood of getting mold.

Kind of reminds me of an experiment where a real hamburger and a McDonald's hamburger were placed in separate jars. After a month the real hamburger was moldy but the McDonald's hamburger still looked the same. Makes you wonder what they put in those hamburgers ?

That experiment has been replicated many times; same results every time.

Whenever I've walked into a McDonalds [or Subway for that matter] there's an unmistakable chemical odour.
I've come to the conclusion that it's the smell of preservatives.

No-one wants their tobacco loaded with preservatives [no-one who is sensible that is]
Wouldn't a simple solution be for blenders to pack their product at a lower case ? [lower moisture level]
I'd wager that Daughters & Ryan blends don't ever have issues with mould.

Simply lowering the moisture level won't guarantee absence of mold, nor mould!
—Though I wish I had some real stats on this. Somewhere it'll be too dry to support mold, but then I think we're in the mummy dust region.
