[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 480052, member: 1723"] Well now, that's the question of the day.....isn't it? I wonder about this myself. The tin was in my possession since I bought it back in '01. Not shipped or moved except to perhaps another shelf space in all that time Yet something went south during this time. And it' s not down to the lack of a seal like on the rectangular tins I hear about these days, and yet have a problem with. Interestingly enough, in this same lot of old GLP 'baccys from that same year, I've had a few winners and losers. To wit- Mephisto - long gone blend w/Syrian Latakia and rum. This required hydration and I eventually shipped it off to those who favoured the Lat-weed. At this time I don't! Cairo - one of the success stories here. The moisture level seemed to be pretty good and didn't have to mess with this other than smoke it. A very pleasant blend, but it did require several bowls to get the taste. Also had a tin of Raven's Wing and Abingdon from '01 and '03 respectively, but those are in the possession of pipestuds site, since I'm off Lat blends. So there you have it. All were the old style tall/skinny pop top tins from the early '00's. Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
