[QUOTE="dshpipes, post: 175306, member: 1622"] I agree that you did well fixing the issue. The best thing to do, imo, is to check your aging tins regularly and to transfer at the first sign of rust or any hint of a pinhole in the tin. I was gifted a tin of Mystic Blend from 2004 that had a few spots of rust on the bottom, but I didn't see anything that indicated the rust had penetrated the tin. When I popped the tin, the tobacco was as dry as good kindling. When I transferred the contents to be re-hydrated, I noticed a few hairpin holes on the bottom of the tin where those pesky rust spots were. Now, I open and transfer as soon as I see any hints of rust. I'm not sure if there were any rust spots on your tin, but diligence is the best deterrent. Also, it's rare but it does happen that some tins just don't get that perfect seal. Sad but true. [/QUOTE]
