What's new

What tin/jar are you cracking?

Cool thread idea, Erik...now we can catch the tins coming and going. :laugh:

Last night I cracked open a tin of Escudo from 2011.
 
Just opened a Christmas Cheer 2017. I need to know what they're like fresh so I know how much better the other 4 are as they age...

I think I'm going to try to go through a bunch of what I already have opened before I open more. I probably have 10 dadgum tins open at the moment.

I do have 10 dadgum tins open at the moment. :bored:
Ha! I just went and looked. Nine, but I polished off a tin of Artisan's Blend a few days ago.

One is a tin of Early Day that I must've opened several months ago, smoked one bowl of, and then promptly forgot about. I smoked two bowls of it, yesterday, and moisture is perfect. I might have to burn through it, 3017 style. It's just gorgeous stuff.

Yeah, I've got a couple that have been in jars for a while now. They just seem to get passed over. Might have to start trying to get that number down.

^^^What he said, except that my jar of Escudo is only 2 years old. I have a new tin that's only a year old so I think I'll leave it for awhile. I'll just finish off my baby two year old Escudo tonight.

Man, I seem to average 20-25 opened jars at any given time. lol

In the last week I opened a tin of Hearth and Home Vipprati and a tin of Dunhill Three year Matured. I like both blends, but not really anything I'll pick up more of to stock away. I have one tin more of the Three Year, I'll leave that stashed for now once I finish off the open one.

Dirty Donuts are so Good.
I just opened a tin of Dunhill Nightcap that I got on my birthday. Don't know how old it is cuz I just got it.

Smoked a bowl last night with a glass of Sandeman Ruby Port after dinner. All that nicotine and 19% wine & brandy goodness hit me at the exact same time.

Man, was I high..... High! :) Went straight to bed like an old man, woke up 10 years younger. :)

Although I probably won't get around to smoking any of in until tomorrow, I cracked a tin of 2012 G.L. Pease Westminster that I got yesterday.
 
Not a tin/jar, but I picked up an ounce of HH Arcadian Perique from the bulk jar at a B&M that I dropped into a jar and put into the "Opened" category to smoke. Trying to determine if I want to pick up a bulk bag to get into the cellar or not. Did the same with an ounce of Bullseye Flake. The last time I had it, I didn't care for it, but that was a long time back, before I started to really enjoy VA/VAPers at all. Now they are topping my fav blend style list.
 
C&D Corn Cob Pipe, it's a cube cut Burley aro that didn't disappoint this old piper. One of my favorite things about pipe smoking is getting compliments on my smoke. When your 4 year old niece that barely speaks to you because you're the big burly scary uncle tells you that it smells delicious, well that's a keeper in my book. It tastes great too.
 
Enjoy that! I haven't had anything over 8. Although I imagine it doesn't matter between 8-10 years. I was looking at this thread to give me some idea of what to crack open. I've had the same 5 in rotation all fall. I want to change it up. I ramble. too much coffee today! :001_smile

Thanks! Actually, I cracked it because I wanted to change things up as well. I have 9 open containers, but 4 of them have only a few bowls left. As for the other tins/jars, they're nothing terrible, but just stuff that I'm not too excited about right now. This will be the oldest tobacco that I've tried.
