Remember to forget me!
Amongst a bundle of tobaccos that arrived this morning, were three tins from Samuel Gawith.
The Kendal Cream arrived, with the slightly older format, of the gory pictures on a cardboard box, with the standard tin image on a heavily concaved tin, from the vacuum sealing.
The Squadron Leader and Skiff Mixture, have the newer format pukey pics directly on the lid, BUT have a plastic rip off piece covering the joint. That's new! Also, the tins show no deformation from vac sealing, which has me a little concerned.
Furthermore, you MIGHT be able to see on these pics, that the plastic does not extend to the underside of the tin. As such, it isn't holding the lid clamped down on the seal, the way that vacuum sealing should.
These were supposed to be being laid away for some time in the future, but I'm not filled with confidence about how well sealed these are. Neither can I periodically check to see if the lid has loosened, to know whether the seal is intact. It's held securely enough to stop me checking, but securely enough to be airtight...? Maybe not
I'm probably going to need to get some vac sealing bags, and wrap these in even more plastic, I reckon.
