[QUOTE="NeroWolfe, post: 170250, member: 797"] I leave in original tins. I do agree that some tins (especially British) develop rust inside over time. But I am not convinced that the rust actually does any harm to the tobacco. The tobacco in British tins, like those used by Samuel Gawith and Gawith Hoggarth & Company, is wrapped in foil paper or a plain paper inside, and does not contact the tin surface (probably because of the rust potential??). Last year I opened a 5 year old tin of Samuel Gawith Full Virginia Flake; the tin was so rusty on the inside that I could literally pour some the rust out after I removed the tobacco. But...the tobacco was great; no problem at all. The American blenders, like C&D and McClelland, seem to use tins that have a coating inside that prevents rust. [/QUOTE]
