[QUOTE="Dave_In_Philly, post: 427005, member: 1907"] SG blends to tend to run wet, not dry, but of all of them, Squadron Leader is probably the driest (that I have encountered at least). And yes, they are wrapped in folded wax paper, no plastic wrap. I smoke a lot of SG, mostly FVF and Navy Flake, but I do enjoy Squadron Leader from time to time. Of all the Gawith tobacco I have been through, pounds and pounds of it at this point, I have only had had one defective tin, and that was Squadron Leader. You could tell right away. Most SG tins suck in at the middle, but this one was perfectly flat. I also had a tin drop from my cabinet and hit the hard floor, a fall of maybe 6", and that was sufficient enough to pop the seal. They are not as bad as the square tins from Esoterica, but overall, square shaped tins are not as efficient at maintaining their seals as their round counterparts. As Sloth said, it can be rehydrated, but I'd take it back if I were you. Its their fault, not yours. Any half decent shop will happily exchange it for a new tin. [/QUOTE]
