Not long ago, I had a computer crash that caused me to lose my database of cellared tobaccos. (And led me to switch from PCs to an iMac. But that's a different topic...) So I recently re-inventoried my stockpile, which consists entirely of sealed tins stored in storage containers. This time, I decided I needed to number the containers, so I could know specifically which tins were in which containers.
Anyway, all of that to say: Today I was poking around the basement and came across a container that had escaped my notice before. It wasn't numbered. I wasn't sure it even contained tobacco. But I opened it up, and it was like Christmas Day all over again. Here's some of what I found inside, that I'd completely forgotten I had:
Murray's era Dunhill London Mixture

3 tins of GLPease Bohemian Scandal

8oz bag of GLPease Renaissance

1 and 1/2 pounds of Westminster

1 pound of Charing Cross

and other assorted tins ranging in date from 2004-2008.
I had assumed I'd traded/sold some of these tins and just forgotten about it. It was truly a joy to open this box and find them all waiting there!

rmbittner, great story, finding aged tobacco you completely forgot about is like winning the lottery. I had taken a few years off from my pipes, so when I cam back to them this May, I opened my containers that all my tins were in and found all kinds of stuff I had forgotten about. Most of it was Murray's era Dunhill English blends which I knew about, but I found Veermaster, Escudo,Penzance, Three Nuns, Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky( 17 years old) and others. Since I no longer smoke English, those are being sold for me and bringing some really nice coin.
