Opening A Tin? Show Us!

I must say I really dig the tin and the presentation KOPP put together for that blend.

It’s very classy, and the card was interesting to read, given recent events with other tobacco companies.

I haven’t smoked it yet, but tobacco itself smells very pleasant and appealing. I’m looking forward to trying it.

I still am unsure who manufactures this blend. Sutliff offers the bulk yet some believe the tinned White Knight is under STG.

2017 was still Sutliff. STG took it over a couple of years ago.

It'd better be: it's the priciest 50g pouch I've ever bought! It's also the richest smelling tobacco I've ever opened.

Back in 2015 we did a group buy on here straight from Germany. Ended up being $9/plug.

Very nice! That’d be a great price for stocking up.

If it’s feasible to do again I’d participate.

Popped this tin of Rattray's - Exotic Passion this morning. This is a very nice tobacco, and I'm really enjoying it at the moment.

5 year old nightcap, can’t tell any difference from fresh which is good.

30 plus year old Richmond Medium Navy Cut. Turned out to be very good tobacco.

Ran into my local B&M yesterday hoping to find a tin of 2024 Cringle Flake. No such luck, but I didn’t walk away empty handed. Found a tin of Germain & Sons BK Flake

The wife and I took a mini weekend vacation so I wanted to commemorate it with something special. 2005 tin I snagged off @drrock. Crazy to think this shit's old enough to vote.

Not too sure how I feel about these. I cracked the 1st tin of Spark Plug from 2020 and saw some possible plume? But my concern is that it has a musty odor to the tin. I cracked the 2nd from 2021 and I found "plume" again and again with a musty odor. You guys have any thoughts? Or anyone have the same musty smell with older Spark Plug? It doesn't appear fuzzy, looks more like white-ish crystals, which normally, I wouldn't think twice. But it's the musty smell that has me concerned.

Does it sparkle in the light?

It appears to, but I'll check it in the sunlight later. With a flashlight, I definitely see some sparkle. Plus, it's been almost a month since I cracked the tin and I haven't seen any additional growth. I'm thinking it might be ok.
