[QUOTE="Lonecoyote, post: 470873, member: 4073"] Swollen tins with a few years on them just means it's from natural fermentation. Even the older C&D blends. I've personally never came across mold in any C&D blend I've opened after aging. However, if you have a new blend that has basically no age and you notice severe/abnormal swelling I would open a tin and check for any sign of mold. Example: I had a tin of a blend recently released, Temple Bar that was bulging like a round ball. So I decided to open this particular tin. Low and behold I found mold, you could even smell it! I did send it back and it was replaced immediately. After 2 to 3 years it's normal for blends with mostly Virginia's to swell so NO worries. Just worry if you receive a tin dated a month or so before you purchased it and it's already swollen. Just return the tin to the place of purchase, no reason to get ill from moldy tobacco!! PS When opening a swollen tin cover it with a clean cloth so you don't lose any of your tobacco. You will get tobacco in your face if you don't... Lol KEEP ON PUFFING!!! [/QUOTE]
