Opening A Tin? Show Us!

@Brendan
That suff looks nice. It makes me want to put some on my next order!

This place is dangerous!

Please do!

The reviews for club blend are spot on, when they mention roasted marshmallow. If the reviews for both appeal to you, then I can't see anybody being disappointed.

Can also vouch for the blend in my avatar pic.

Disclaimer: To the aforementioned side-effects of St Bruno I can wholeheartedly confirm my experience's along those of @simong as I have noticed some 'muscle' gains since taking up the Bruno method. The only complaint, if you can call it that, is of severe soreness in the lower back area of late. I've heard remarks from some blokes at work referring to what is colloquially called 'shagger's back' down here.


As usual, YMMV in this regard.

Scrummy stuff!

How does it compare to the other SH blends you've had? Cheers.

Unfortunately Terrence, I’m unable to compare it to any of the other SH blends, as this is the only one I’ve had!

What I can say though, is it’s nothing short of excellent. An exquisite, mellow & gentlemanly mixture. If you can find a tin, you shouldn’t hesitate in trying it out for yourself. Top notch stuff & utterly delicious!

I almost made it to the 11 year mark, but I was in "need" of opening something new to try.
Opened it last night and smelled and viewed it. Lidded again and had about 1.5 coins rubbed out in a Peterson 314 sandblasted with coffee this morning. A mighty fine experience!

If I do say so myself, I think that was the most beautiful tin presentation I've ever encountered.

Like a card shark/magician beautifully laying out a full deck of cards.

GL Pease Quiet Nights at 4 year, 3 months old. Worried about my Union Square tin, but will wait on that for now and be satisfied that this tin is mold free.

Yummy.

2016 Samuel Gawith Lakeland Dark. The tin note is dark, smoky and Lakeland-y, just like the name promised. After 7 years the tin was still well sealed and the tobacco inside was still very moist.

Just popped this tin of Mac Baren HH Highland Blend from 2013.

Coming soon to this thread. Just dug it out of my cellar because I need to open a new Virginia.

Opened up some Bold Kentucky the other day. Been smoking it every morning.

This thing smells just like Belgian milk chocolate. Uncanny.

Last night.
It's been a long time since I've had one of "these" types of aromatics. Was it good? Yes, the quality seemed to be good overall. And while the flavor seemed quality enough, I personally was reminded that I just don't enjoy this kind of flavoring very often. Fortunately, I had a perfect jar and lid that seals tightly for it, one that had contained ... cherries.
Thanks again to Jay for the gift. It should be good for that "now & then" itch for a long time.

Yet another one, I've been finishing up opened blends and have been opening several new ones lately.
















So, so delicious.

Reminds me I have one last piece of Salty Dog in a jar somewhere.

Pics coming of this 2011 Best Brown. Amazing stuff. Mahogany brown flakes. Smooth and mellow. Much milder than FVF. I prefer this because I don't want all the nicotine of FVF. This is subtle and has to be packed and smoked carefully, preferably indoors.
