Very Old Edgeworth Sliced

Found this today.

At least 41 years old, still stamped and wrapped in cellophane. First tin was still humid enough to fold without crumbling.

Found, as in going through your sock drawer? That's a nice find. I "found" a couple on ebay that I purchased a few weeks back. One had already been opened and only a corner of a flake missing, but it was bone dry and had to be rehydrated. Still, a pretty good smoke. Love the molasses scent in those old tins

New old stock, the owner said the invoice in the box indicated that they paid 39¢ per tin, I paid more a little more! Sold buyer beware. But at least the first tin contents have survived intact.

Smoked first bowl last night. molasses and burley as expected, but also a peppermint note that surprised me. I'm not really a burley kind of guy, but I enjoyed it. The fact that this what by great grandfather smoked made it nostalgic.
