True, but all that smells bad isn’t bad for you to smell. Substances that are respiratory hazards, well that’s another story. Molds that are respiratory pathogens are probably better smoked than sniffed, since incinerating is the best way to kill spores.
All kidding aside, “sniffing” a potentially harmful mold is a great way to inhale spores, especially if dried.
As you can tell mold is nothing to toy with. If you have found some throw the entire container it in the trash, Do not attempt to save any.
It if was only $12 it’d be gone. But it was $185
. Regardless I guess it should go. I was hoping it was just an old smell.Thems the breaks when you buy something oldIt if was only $12 it’d be gone. But it was $185
Like wine, you hope for something magical. And often it is.
But sometimes it‘s fit only to be poured into the sink
As @sablebrush52 said - old tins can be a craps shoot
Feels like at least the wine industry has the attention to and technique for long-term storage. Tobacco has always been produced to be consumed, not 'cellared' - this has been a fairly recent behavior for pipesmokers.

These are the risks with 30 year old tobacco, don't think they were ever made with the intention to be held for that long.
Yup!
I loved the thread with Gawith’s rant taking umbrage to afficiandos “fapping about” thinking they can improve on the blender’s work

Could you please post the link to the thread you mentioned? It's a classic.
(Are you thinking of a reply from the head of Germain's?)
I stand corrected-it was the head of Germain’s thread I believe. At work so I doubt I’ll have time to search it up.

It should be a sticky though
@jpmcwjr-I lied….I made time.
It was from 2015, and a great example of the Mandela Effect. “fapping about” has become a popular reference here to that quote, when it was “faff around”:
“
Dear Mr. Bakkus,
We manufacture our tobacco to be enjoyed at acquisition.
If you wish to "cellar" our blends, be it on your own head.
From our point of view, why would you want to faff around with our product?
We produce hand-made products only. Your contents may vary. That is all.
Please do not be a "cellarer" unless you are willing to admit that you think that you can do better.

Every time I read that, I am jealous of those British Tobacco companies. They have such assurance that their customers will continue to buy from then no matter what that they can just be outright assholes. To be so obtuse to the fact that their customers prefer their products aged, and be so arrogant about it also. I've just stopped buying anything from Britain.
Hey... everyone should be happy. This will leave a lot more on the table for those who are die hard fans.

Mold smells like sadness and angry Tobacconists.
And bakers!
Although it was pretty useful for Sir Fleming in working on Penicillin!

However, I would pretty much give the same reply if asked and have done. Exactly this.
