Unique Samuel Gawith Tin? (Golden Colour)

[heyeveryone]

My recent shipment of Samuel Gawith contained a unicorn of some sort. One of the new silver tins but it was not silver, it was gold in colour.

Called my tobacconist who was not much of help, though he did recall noticing the tin and knew what I was talking about. Normaly he don't remember such things.

Searching doesen't give me much information either. Anyone here know whats up? The tin is identical to the new silver tins in shape and form, only difference is the colour.

The tin is a Sam's Flake, date code 28 290, which if I understand correctly is 28th of Nov 2020

New silver tin ontop, unicorn in the middle and an old tin at the bottom.

Yeah, thats kinda how I feel right now haha.

Forgot to mention that I received multiple tins of Sam's Flake with identical date code stickers, but only one of them was golden, rest silver.

Well there you go, off to Samuel Wonka's tobacco factory! Just be careful of those baccy-wackies. Mean little shits that like to sing condescending songs and kick you in the knee caps.

Sorry to 'crush' your dream @heyeveryone but no unicorn, I'm afraid to say. Since Brexit Gawith's have had to source out different suppliers for their tins. I've got more than a few of both gold & silver, all very pretty but worth checking the seals too as seals on both can be a bit dodgy....

The guy working the line that day put a booger on a flake, and then designated which one it was by using the special gold tin. Feelin' special?

So no Samuel Wonka factory tour for me? Aww

Oh well, happy I found an answer though so thanks!

When you think it's special but it's snot.

Goofy things like this can happen to anyone,

When you think it's special but it's snot.

When you go to kiss your honey
And your nose is kinda runny,
You may think that it's funny
But it's snot.

When you buy a tin of XX Black Twist and then open it and either a spring loaded snake pops out or it makes a raspberry sound you know you have a unicorn!
