None that I pine for, no. I am quite happy smoking something else. I do remember fondly the Mcclellands ketchup tin note but happy for it to be a fond memory.
Yes. I had a 50g tin of Bohemian Scandal that, when opened, was completely covered in mold. And not the sparkly “is it or isn’t it?” variety.Keep an eye on that tin on BS. The shitty quality of the tins C&D were using has caused a great many of them to rot and fail from the inside out.
Are the new ones any better?Keep an eye on that tin on BS. The shitty quality of the tins C&D were using has caused a great many of them to rot and fail from the inside out.

With all of the crazy "collectible" tin buying action on eBay I've been following a lot of auctions. Several have caught my eye because they are offering something a bit different. Here's one that just completed...pipesmagazine.com
Yes, they are. The tins are lined inside to reduce this problem, though I don't know that it's been eliminated. Also, the problem didn't affect every blend, just a portion of them. I don't know if C&D uses food grade tins like McClelland did.Are the new ones any better?

I opened all of my tins of Haddo's and bagged them. Aging, smaging. When Haddo's goes bad there's no coming back. It's trash can filler. Even the later tins, from 2011 and 2013, were showing issues at the solder joint because that part wasn't lined. Some corrosion was starting to form, so I'm happy that I didn't wait.

thank you. heading over there this summer so maybe will find a tin..!Charatan Virginia Three Year Matured is very close (much more then McConnel's version) and very good IMO
..another range that came and went between the times i was dabbling with the pipe.. I can't really 'miss' them, as I never even met them. But i can sure empathize.Butera Kingfisher
Yeah THAT was a great blend. Too bad the current owner decided to fuck with it when he started making it again, the dumb ass. It's not more "strangish" than strang. I've still got about a pound of the final 2016 batch, and a bit of the 2015.Strang
Do you mean the Murray’s or original Dunhill versions? Because (and forgive me if this is old news to you) if you’ve smoked Dunhill Flake since the mid-2000s—when Orlik took it over—that exact flake is still being made under the Peterson name.Dunhill Flake
