Where Do You Get Aged Tins?

[Dock]

Unfortunately only a few brands of tobacco are easily dateable. Hermit's, Older production Ashton, McClellands, Cornell & Diehl, The now defunct Bufflehead brand and GLP are the only ones I can think of right now. As for the others like Dunhill you have to know what their tins looked like at a given time.

:x :x :x It's so frustrating that all brands don't date their tins! :x :x

For someone outside the USA, those prices might look quite reasonable. A tin off the shelf here would cost $30 for 50 grams/ $60 for 100 grams...

Actually, the Orlik made Dunhills (and just about anything produced by Orlik and dist. in the US) are datable from 2005 forward to the year by the ten digit number code on the distributor sticker (e.g., 0515114123 = 2005; 0707095513 = 2007, and so forth and so on). Before that, things get a bit more trickey to be sure!

Pipestud has some nice stuff! If I were a VA lover I would be all over that 83' Crop McCranie's Red Flake. It is outstanding as well as the ribbon version.

I'm a VA lover, but at $80 for two tins,
I'd rather get another pound and a third
of Hal O' The Wynd.
