Opening A Tin? Show Us!

I could be wrong, in which case I invoke Cunningham's Law, but I believe that's just Sutliff Match Revelation in a tin.

Quite the revelation

It very well could be. Now that you say that I do remember reading about the flavor profile of Revelation in an article about Albert Einstein. And the description seems to match what this stuff taste like. I’ll have to look around a bit to see if I can find anything stating this for sure. Thanks for the info my friend.

Newest release Cringle stuffed into what I've come to call a Tsuge slobber tank

Charatan 160th Anniversary blend, a never to be repeated (praise be) Va/Bur with plum and vanilla topping. A certain amount of masochism is required for a bowl of this, imho. Whatever was I thinking?

Woke up this morning and found a couple tobacco orders on the porch. Since i have no patience and have to open them for sampling right away, figured i'd share. Accessibility is the name of the game on my shelves.

First, KBV Burley Morning Pipe:

I need another open tin like a hole in the head, but I didn’t have any “heavy Englishes” in the rotation, and my tin of Gaslight just turned 3 years old, so here we go:

No offense at all intended but, um, is that not moldy?

I had the same thought upon opening the tin. It didn't smell moldy, but my sniffer isn't the best.

The first two bowls tasted alright and didn't kill me. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this stuff and pitch it if it changes appearance quickly.

Balkan flake, great stuff.

Braver man than me, I’d of thrown that out.
Mould doesn’t improve with age.

If you squint juuussst the right way, you can manage to see the mold.

Hey, this isn’t the tobacco pics in negative thread. Oh wait…

This stuff is great. Very fruity and strawberryish topping with a small amount of chocolate. I have an old tin waiting to be popped, but have decided to save it for a later year instead of comparing to the new. Was wondering since they always have it in stock if it had changed. Either way, it’s still a nice Virginia with very little Perique.

Bought a tin of Sam Gs Cabbie's Mixture more put of curiosity and intrigue than anything else.

First smoke today. Rubbed out a few coins. Underwhelming tin smell but first light and wow!! Spicy, peppery Englishness!

A tin and a pouch were opened and transferred into jars...

C&D Evergreen. I think I got this tin from Smokingpipes with the purchase of a Peterson.

 

[ak2000]

Quite the loud whoosh when opened!

 

[ak2000]

The plug is like a rock!

Opened a newly purchased tin of G.L. Pease Embarcadero yesterday. I haven't had anything from G.L. Pease until now, and I'm glad I picked this one up. I'm only two bowls in, and I'm already thinking about picking up another tin.

Opened a pouch of Stanislaw London Mixture and transferred it into jars...
