Opened a tin of Bengal Slices bought roughly 3 months ago from a big retailer. I could not believe the amount of plume already started

Well phooey. I’ve gotten much more disciplined about having too many opened tins at once. I just finished the last of my opened stock last week. Opened six new tins all at once to load up a new rotation, and missed the photo op!! Gonna be a while before I crack another one!

Well, I've got these pictures of Mac Baran Navy Flakes.
I was really impressed with the quality of packing. And the tobacco was excellent!

10 year old Samuel Gawith Commonwealth Full Strength Mixture, opened yesterday. The Virginias have gotten sweet and the Lat doesn’t have a hint of sharpness, just smoky luxuriousness.

Oh I don't know. The title of the thread could've been read any which way.

I shared this recently on another thread but was lucky enough to pick up this Vintage tin of P. Lolliard Burgundy for $22 about a week ago. It's always neat to see tins getting cracked open and enjoyed by the community.

The contents were on the dry side as expected and the flavor has a tart slightly sour fruit alcohol vibe to it, not bad at all especially for the price of a 7 oz tin of well aged tobac.

Anything in particular you wanted to see? Not pictures of mold I hope.

This thread is like DoubleMint gum - double the pleasure double the fun.

Yes mold because who else is providing cellular level (not the telecommunications kind) photos?

Definitely some open cutter tops. I didn't even know about cutter tops until I heard your interview on the show.

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.

Why not, nothing wrong with Mold. My late grandfather was from there, still got cousins who are happy there still.

Not the most ‘happening’ of places but It’s got St. Mary’s church.

Along with the surrounding countryside, nice place to live.

Mold - Town in Flintshire, North Wales
Mould - Found in American tobacco tins….(mostly).
