I don't buy aged tins anymore. The competition is just too much on eBay. I miss the early years. I did a lot of tobacco buying in the late 1990's, mostly McClelland black and brown label stuff. Dunhill Std Mixture and Durbar are well represented from late 90's as well. I put away 10 tins of Escudo in 2004. I would say the majority of my cellar is 1999, just a couple of 1980's tins left.
