Very much enjoying it, the only other English blend I've tried so far is Solani white and black which was smokier and not so light (a tin of Nightcap is also on its way!)
2012 Mac Baren Navy Flake.
There was some corrosion on the top edges of the tin, but the seal was intact

This has been in the cellar a few months, no longer than that. Smells the same as their Flake when opened, which I found ok but a bit uninspiring. Hope this has something more to offer.
The seasonal craving for Latakia has begun.
Ohhhh good Lord, thank you for such great thing…first time opening Peterson De Luxe Navy Rolls
Popped this Jannemann Flake but haven't smoked any yet. Comes in one long flake, coiled up in your paint tin.

Right thread, kind of. I decanted the last of the Cabbies from a one litre Kilner jar into my "working tin". Finished. But then I grabbed another 250g bag (Feb 2024 date code), popped that open and emptied the contents into the jar - it just fits perfectly. Very happy. 
Opened a tin of SG Firedance Flake from 2/22 this morning. No trouble with the seal—in fact it was difficult to pry open. Lovely smoke. Lots of full virginia flavor with a bit of topping.
Also opened a tin of HU Indaba which I'll be trying later.
Decided I’d finally open a tin of March 2021 Mac Baren Royal Twist. Smells fantastic. 
A new tin of HU Dockworker. Really liked the first one. 
Isn't this just from the black paper that caused all the trouble on the Cringle Flake from last year?Opened a tin of Bengal Slices bought roughly 3 months ago from a big retailer.
