Hey Timbo! Thanks for that read! Very insightful! Zach

Yeah, it was sad story. I believe the rust came about in between the lining and the tin. That would tear me to pieces of I opened a tin of tobacco I had aging specifically to smoke and it was ruined! It may sound silly, but I plan to only smoke my Blackwoods Flake on my daughters birthday. (Not...

I just read a story on pipe studs website about a McClelland Tin rusting. I’m not terribly upset about resale value, as this is in my top 5 favorite blends, that I’m certain I will enjoy for years to come. To boot, I also have a tin of Navy Cavendish, and a tin of No. 25 Virginia from ‘06 and...

Ok! Phew. I actually knew that when opening the tins it’d slow that process, but I read a couple of horror stories about guys cracking those tins and finding rust on the inside or appearing to be sealed and not being sealed... I keep a close eye on my cellar, and thoroughly inspect the rings and...

Uh-oh!!! Why would that be a mistake?!? Zach

Thank You Mr. Stick! It was beyond satisfactory.

Lucked out guys! I received two 100g tins this afternoon... it’s getting transferred to a jar today (with a Couple BIG bowls left out for enjoyment) and pushed to the very back of my cellar! (The 50g tin was already in my possession). Here’s this afternoons smoke; (Forgive the “filter”. My...

Oh, ok! I think... I think I’m getting it! Let me think on that for a while. HA! Zach

Yet, that was one very vivid and borderline artistic description that made me desperately want to sample a blend I’ve never even thought twice about! ;) You’re the man! Glad you enjoyed your haul! Zach

Hey thanks Conrad, that puts me to ease a bit! It’s actually half of a kitchen cupboard my wife suggested I use! It fits it all, for now! Zach

Heya! Thought I’d post a picture of my cellar while hopefully getting some opinions and questions answered. So I thought I was doing everything right in taking my tins of exactly the same, (or close to) ages, popping them open and jarring them. I use quart wide mouth jars and can fit roughly...

Thanks Gents! I believe this’ll keep me held over for a bit. I’m posting a picture of my whole cellar in the dedicated cellar thread in a second here with some attached questions! Zach

Earlier this week a co-worker stopped at a shop where she was at for a day trip and scored me a tin of Orlik DSK, and a 8oz. bag of Esoterica Peacehaven! Now just today my wife, daughter and I took a drive and I scored; (3) tins of Dunhill Dark Flake (3) tins of Dunhill Durbar (1) tin of...

Hey thanks! That's the first I've heard of that site! I'll definitely keep an eye out for it now! Zach

I passed it up... I feel like a fool, but I'll keep my up my search. Zach

Hey Gents, I put out an add looking to trade for some McClelland's Blackwoods Flake, offering a couple tins and an ounce or two of my Dunbar. A gentleman offered me an opened tin of 1996 Blackwoods Flake that he opened and took one bowl from for a couple ounces of Dunbar. He said it's been...

Thanks Fellas! She's an absolute Doll! Unfortunately she is changing every day. I now understand what parents mean when they recommend cherishing every moment. Sleep is lacking but it's all very well worth it! Can't way to watch her grow up! Zach

Hey Brothers! Been a long time since I've checked in! Hope you all are well! I've got some GREAT NEWS! We have been BLESSED by the GRACE of GOD, with a beautiful baby girl. Born on January 30th at 6:33 am, allow me to introduce you to my perfect little darling; Eleanore Silas. She...

Hey thanks guys! We are just so excited. We have an appointment tomorrow so I'll try to get an ultrasound picture put up. He/she is quite a bit bigger than the photo posted above so it will be a drastic change for ya! Zach

Congratulations Buddy! Three boys, that's awesome! A wonderful looking family you have. Zach
