Tinned Stonehaven

Apparently they did make a tinned version...

Also called by its trade name: Single Serving.

Looks like a home-made fake to me!

Pipestud would know the answer.
He must be summoned!
Is it real or is it fake?
:puffpipe:

Sold 8oz of Penzance for $160:

That tin needs Viagra...

Huh, Butera era. Could be real. The stuff wasn't a unicorn then, just another tin on the shelf.
$160 for a bag of Stonehaven? Someone likes it a whole lot more than I do.
Probably bought by a desperate, or maybe disparate, smoker from Bessarabia.

I've been trying to score a tin of Stonerheaven for years now,

but the rasta bros keep outbidding me!

:mrgreen:

 

[misterlowercase]

spidey sense is a tingle with this one,

but you never know, perhaps it was available as a "sample tin" at one time?

or a special for pipe shows or something?
I've never seen a tin of SH and have often wondered why they don't make them,

but if they did I'm not sure I'd want it in a small round 1/2 ounce tin.
Zooming in gives a little detail, but it's really sorta a crappy pic:

Notice that it has two different weights listed?
Maybe an artifact from someones cellar who made special little keepers or made for baccy bombing?

"Best Full English Tobacco" is the copy for Margate...

As far as I remember, the Esoterica blends in tins today are the same Esoterica blends tinned from the beginning. Never remember Stonehaven being tinned.

"Best Full English Tobacco" is the copy for Margate...

Indeed.
The instance of its occurrence on a supposed tin of Stonehaven is most definitely highly irregular.

That guy always gets the good stuff.
What BS!

 

[pipestud]

You got me, mrlowercase. Although the seller misspelled the word "trial" it is what looks to be a legit trial tin that was perhaps sold at one time. Wonder how they got those square flakes in a round tin? :wink:

 

[bonehed]

Oops.

 

[bonehed]

Seller claims he bought a few sample tins on eBay years ago. {shrug}
