Can anyone date this tin? I purchased it from a USA pipe shop in the early 1990's.
My best guess is late 1980's.
I popped it open just now. Slight vaccuum seal remaining, perfect smoking moisture (a bit on the dry side as I prefer), smells great, lots of sugar crystals and white spots (mold?).
I will smoke it today or tomorrow and report if interesting.

Pretty sure that tin is a Murrays tin from the early 90s. Hence the 'Made in association with Dunhill' on the lid.
