[QUOTE="Justpipes, post: 37232, member: 38"] It really depends on what kind of seal the pouches have as to wether the tobacco can be salvaged through re-hydration. I ran across several very old tins of Velvet and Half & Half last weekend that still have the tobacco in them but the seal was not all that good. They were the old metal tins with the tobacco folded up in paper, so I know they were old. I didn't purchase them because of the sketchy seal on them and those tins by themsleves don't bring that much. I have a 10 oz. container of American Dunhill tobacco from WWII when Dunhill had contracted their tobacco operation to a company in Richmond, VA. It has a 1923 tax stamp on it but John Loring helped me date to WWII. Dunhill's factories were out of comission durning that time due to bombing. John Loring encouraged me to open it and smoke it after re-hydrating the tobacco. He said with that type of seal it would be fine. I haven't done it yet and don't know it I ever will. You never know.
