Decided to try and organize my cellar disaster today and found four ounces of McClelland 2010!!!
I completely forgot that I had this.

it's probably mislabeled. No it probably isn't but would that not bite the big one (as they used to say in the 80's).
That settles it... I’m gonna go organize my cellar...
Personally, I'd let @pipestud sell it and buy a cottage with the proceeds.
Ugh, you were right, I tried it and it's just an old jar of Stonehaven. I dumped it. ?
I still have three tins of McClellands, but they're never out of sight.
Lol, I Just found some McClelland 2015 in Jars from 2001. Hmmm....
Sadly we have never gotten along all that well...
So what? I have a jar of Carter Hall from 2016! Can't wait to bust that puppy open!
....
No seriously I do....

Always good to find a surprise from the cellar!
In 10 years, I'll be bragging about my 10 year old tins. Wait for it..
I try to forget what I have on purpose. The surprise I get in future is well worth it.
It goes both ways though. The nasty surprise when you realize your stock of something was lower than you thought... (dramatic music plays)
Yeah, that’s the way it usually plays out for me. Happened not that long ago, actually. Started getting near the bottom of my little half pint jar of Balkan Supreme I keep in the shop. Thought I had another half pound of it in my “cellar.” Nope. ?
Went through it faster than I thought I did ?
At least it was something that’s still in production and can be replaced easily.
Hmmm, now I better go check my old jars. I've got a ton I haven't seen in 6 years and may have something interesting hiding out. The perils of traveling for work, you never really know what you have and rarely get to smoke it.
Nice surprise!!! I had the opposite the other day, popped an 8 year tin of Irish Flake that I had been eyeing up for a year or so only to find 4 dried up flakes in it! I had obviously opened and smoked most of it 8 years ago! Either that or there is some strange Murphy's (by) law that requires Irish Flake tins to be opened on St Patricks Day lest the leprechauns smoke it up.

I found a tin of McClelland's Master Penman from 2014 at the bottom of one of my tobacco stashes last month. Decided that since the Coronavirus was predicted to kill everyone in the world, I would go ahead and smoke it.
I recently found an old jar of GH&CO lousiana perique flake. I had a look at it and found the mold growing. It was a rollercoaster of emotions.
