This is a followup thread to the one posted earlier trying to determine the age of the tin.
Thanks to the generous help of folks here @ TBP, we were able to determine that the tin was probably from the mid 80's or a little newer.
So, as I'd stated on the previous thread, I had decided to pop the top and give er a whirl, barring any nasty mold of course.
As had been posted by others, the tobacco was wrapped in a paper pouch of sorts...
Time to unwrap and see what we have...
Am I correct in assuming that the "2 15 92" is the date of the tobacco?
The tobacco was extremely dry. I tend to really let my tobacco dry out before I smoke it. I find it easier to smoke and enjoy the flavor more personally.
This tobacco is beyond Tobacco Dry... It's like Fresh Saltine Crumbly DRY!
So, I decided to hydrate it a bit using a paper towel moistened with bottled water placed under the lid and snugged down.
I'll come back to this in a couple of days and see how the tobacco has progressed.
