No doubt. That was such a bummer and such a foolish oversight on their part.
I called them on the phone and spoke to the production manager about it and he told me it’s not residue but a chemical reaction between the tobacco and the coating on the black disc. Doh!
Totally. Not sure why it wouldn’t be. He said it has to do with the acidic nature of the tobacco. He didn’t expound further.
Just opened a tin of MB HH Burley Flake which I know many others have enjoyed before my chance to try. 
Decided to have fun with it
. Amazing packaging as always from MB
And it smells pretty great!
Will be trying some this afternoon.

It is. And I’m about a quarter into my first bowl and it’s a really lovely tobacco too. I’ll be adding a bunch of this to my cellar.
I currently don’t have much love for burley but this is making me want to get at least one tin of this.
Not a very big burley fan in general, but this is good stuff. Get some.
I'm loving these pictures, especially the tins with some age on them. I love seeing the paper that's gone brown from the oils in the tobacco.
Ive never heard of any of these, very interested if nothing but the tin art lol (I am a sucker)Popped another Ravenwood tin today. This time it was ELEVENTH DAY of CHRISTMAS

I guess you would call it a limited run boutique brand. IMHO well worth the price of admission.
St James Flake from 2008. Very sparkly. One flake folded and stuffed into the bowl for immediate enjoyment.
Not a tin, but a pound. Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia.
Yummy…

Look at that leaf in pics 3 and 4. Completely natural, yet it looks like they dipped it in the liquid camo wrap!
I stayed away from this blend as my preference for Virginia’s are primarily of the made in the UK variety. But on my last trip to NY, I saw a lone tin of HH Pure Virginia sitting on the shelf at Barclay Rex and figured “what the heck”? Glad I did. This is now an everyday smoke for me.
I grabbed a pound of this and a pound of the Navy Flake as well on the last MB sale at SP a few weeks ago. They are some great flakes. I have yet to try the Burley Flake, so I just grabbed a tin of that along with some Anthology tins last night. Depending on how I like it, I may grab a pound or 3 of that next time.
Sutliff KrampusNacht Red Virginia Flake.
OK, I'll admit it - I bought it for the tin art...
I've only had a couple bowls but so far it's pretty good.
