That's for rich folks. Poor people bought them one stick at a time. Edit: this triggered a memory from my childhood in Malaysia; I remember now that shopkeepers sold individual sticks from the round tins . . . ahhh, the bad old days . . .
Similar memories buying cigarettes by the stick for Grandpa from the local general store.
He’d give me the money for one stick, and enough for another 2-3 sticks to buy a treat for myself.

Do you trust the people on tin bids selling mylar bags with home made labels. Or tin foil wrapped tins with a mystical piece of tape with hand written product name

To actually have the correct product? I mean if your trying to sell a tin of mylar wrapped 2004 Penzance or dunhill 965

Why not chop the mylar off and show the actual tin
It's a bit like buying Esoterica in a jar with a label as being Esoterica. Is it?

After bowel cancer surgery, an improper inquiry led me to discovering something called a "Philly Sidecar". If there was ever Too Much Information, that took the biscuit.
I assume it's a thing no one has ever actually done with another person, similar to a cleveland steamer or a Dutch Oven. Or just cuddling.
Though not as gross as the time a British person made biscuits and gravy with out understanding the difference between how the word biscuit is used here and there.
Also there maybe a reason some people call it Filthadelphia.

All of the esoterica I have dumped on there went to china through an American hub. None of it is worth it for me to what they are willing to spend for it except B.K. Flake
