[QUOTE="Bruce, post: 35505, member: 243"] Jeff: With all due respect, the pouch Sobranie that you are selling is not really a true representation of the old BS that is 30-40 years old. I have the pouch BS and many tins of the old BS, some in cutter tops. Due to blend changes over the years and the actual ageing of the tobaccos, the really old BS (tins in ounces and no Euro designation) is truly a very special tobacco. The same is true with Three Nuns. The new TN pales in comparison with the old "Made in Scotland" tins. Unfortunately, Three Nuns is one of those tobaccos that does not re-hydrate well. Buying vintage tobaccos is a crapshoot at best. Sometimes you win, quite a few times you lose. But when you do come across a winner, it can be extremely satisfying and rewarding. [/QUOTE]
