[QUOTE="lestrout, post: 561695, member: 282"] Yo Gtr - no duds in your list. The age thang probably has much more to do with actual age and supply chain than brands there. Stokkebye and C&D turn over in inventory very quickly these days, especially from the big Etailers. (In)famously you can often find a newly received tin of C&D with the batch number of the same month. In contrast, ordering from Synjeco might involve stock that's been there for a few months. Most of the Euro and Britblends take a good while to make it across the pond to US distributors. Then they are compiled for orders to retailers. Then you show up to get them. A few years ago it was common for some of the less popular tins to be years old by the time they showed up on a shop's shelf. [/QUOTE]
