Opening A Tin? Show Us!

[coming to_falling too]

My wife found this at our local antiques mall for $4. Unfortunately the seal was gone on it but I’m rehydrating it now and hoping for the best. Chances are it’ll be terrible but you never know!

Cool find, even if just for the tin.

Let us know how it smokes.

Not many ways to have that much fun $4!

SG Best Brown Flake from 2006. In my opinion, this flake was as good as FVF and St. James Flake. I say was because i haven’t bought it since before the pandemic, and I sure hope GH hasn’t messed with it.

Stokkebye 4th Generation 1931 Erik Peter’s Blend Flake. A gift purchased two years ago from The Danish Pipe Shop.

First time posting in this thread, but this one seemed worthy. McClelland's Virginia Woods from 2003.

Jarred a pound of Newminster 400 which I received a few weeks ago. I had to double check the date on the bag, when I realized it said September 2023 (not 2024): it’s older than the sample I bought last fall.



The whole pound fit into a single quart jar, but I’ll probably divide them into 2.

Opened the last tin of 2004 Edgeworth Sliced.
Always squirrel away a tin of any favorite for future enjoyment!

Good stuff. I'm still working on what i have jarred. Currently sitting on one 7 oz round tin and 14 oz tin in the cellar. One of the harder ones to find out there these days. I got my stash about 15 yrs or so ago.

Enjoy it while it lasts!

Opened a jar of FVF from 2009. Purchased a few of these jars from a member here who stopped piping. Pure bliss.

I meant to post this here last week.

Just opened a 10 year old tin of Skiff Mixture. The tin note makes me envision an old wood paneled library with high backed leather chairs clustered around a fireplace.

After breathing for a few days the Orientals have become slightly more prominent. A very civilized smoke.

If that isn't nice, I don't know what is!
