Opening A Tin? Show Us!

I've never smoked any McClellands but all of the tin designs really appeal to me. That company seems to really have had a great art direction.
To be honest I don't know what the hell this is. But it's old, I snagged it off @drrock and it's a quaint little smoke.
Interesting. And always nice to find something different. I was not aware of this one. Looked it up and find it is an A&C Petersen, no longer in production. As they say, “the only thing new in the world is the history you don’t know”. Enjoy!
Attractive photos, nice looking tobacco! Great name! Brings back memories of stopping in at the Indaba Hotel in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs for sundowners.
So is this sugar crystals or is it mold? It’s granular, and it seems like since it’s only a few months old, it shouldn’t be moldy, but i know C&D has a bit of a rep with mold.
If it smells ok, smoke a bit. If it tastes ok, rip through the tin - it's a decent VaPer, isn't it? Yum.
Haven’t tried this blend yet, so not sure how it’s supposed to smell. It doesn’t smell musty or anything, so there’s that I guess.
I've been opening too much shit lately. Here's my attempting at slowing that roll: time for a big ol' bag. DTM Mellow Mallard. Recent release.
Today I popped my first tin of Pipe Force Episode III. It weighed more than normal for having a challenge coin so I thought it was going to be tobacco heavy. Nope, it had two coins inside. Maybe even a slight bit lite on tobacco by a gram or two. No big deal. I'm sure the extra coin will find a good home.
One of the most beloved tobaccos. It is well mashed and smokes "coolly".
Popped the top on an 8 oz tin of Chenet's Cake. Going to be lighting some up shortly. Looks like its got plenty of that Perique goodness!
One of my favorites there. Enjoy it. It is a wonderful blend !
Accidentally put these in "what are you smoking" - so sort of a duplicate.
Tastes a little like Nightcap if I remember correctly from about 3 years ago...
Has some age...
Smells good, tastes good, smokes good,
Lately I get to choose what to open based on bulging container or some other whim. It was causing a stack to lean, so it got chosen.

Another new one to me, F&T Special Brown Flake.
Opened D&S Blairgowrie, my first D&S blend. Delicious.
