#6, I am doing well on tobacco. I'm even fourteen pouches ahead on Five Brothers. Some people in this forum have mentioned my giving, but scrooge is the person who really loosened my heart and brought about a childhood love. It started with a gift, but he shared his heart. @markinor , keep some tissues handy. I'll need them |

I also enjoy Dunhill Nightcap, but only the tin version. The bulk version is horrendous, makes me sick to my stomach every time! So, bulk is definitely not the same as tinned tobacco’s....but I’ve been told differently in the past by two well known blenders. They are the same blend before being tinned. From what I've learned years ago, is the tinned versions sit on the shelf for a set period of time to allow the various elements to marry under vacum pressure. Back when I was smoking 965, in the early '70s, a friend brought me some that he had bought loose at the Dunhill store over in London and it was very different in flavor and smoking charachteristics to the tinned version. Other dunhill smokers have told me the same thing about EMP and NC as far as tinned vs loose. If you like the tinned version I'd stick with that !  |

So I was told by 2 well known blenders years ago, they are the same. What I did was empty some tin version of Nightcap on a dish and some bulk on a dish, just to my eyes alone I was able to see the different quality of leaf used in the tin version tobacco. Some bulk tobacco’s I find to much center hard stem/core. Never in a tin. I do have a number of bulk blends that are “ similar “ in quality to the tin version and I will give 2 examples: C&D Billy Budd and C&D Red Odessa and I have roughly 10 others that I consider good quality bulk tobacco’s. My Dr friend enjoys Lane 1Q in the tin but he dislikes the bulk version immensely. |

Good luck👍 That kind of intel belongs in the Chronicle under lock and key. jk I try to play fair and share, as I would expect if there was a particular blend I enjoyed and a fellow pipe smoker shared the info with me. I’m a BIG Rattray’s fan, guess that’s from the years I lived in Europe. Most Rattray’s blends have been out of stock for quite some time. There is ONE ( I have plenty of back up of my favorites ) particular 🍊 Orange 🍊 “ hint “ blend I wanted a few tins more of for the future. For this reason I order over the phone and ask if I purchase 10 tins is there enough to go around....who knows, maybe I’m a schmuck. Just my nature I guess. |

Lonecoyote, have you thought about taking some bulk tobaccos, and putting them in large tins, and letting them sit for a few months? The ones you don't like, and wouldn't smoke anyways? It would be a worthy experiment.

It would be a worthy experiment. I store all my bulk blends in different size Mason or Ball jars. Never in plastic for long term aging. The Nightcap bulk I was referring to was jarred for just over two years and it smoked no better then the fresh batch I ordered. Both came from the same online retailer, which I no longer do business with. BAT told me in an email send it back to the retailer you purchased it from and we will make good on it. The retailer did not want to get involved...his excuse was it’s a bulk blend. I really enjoy Lane Medal of Valor and when I smoke this blend I write tin version “ only “, the bulk version is horrendous. Again, side by side there were no similarities, not even close! |

Right, call me crazy, but I am wondering of the metal over the glass makes a difference in ageing, which could explain why the difference in taste. That NC must have just been a really bad batch. That is ridiculous. |

That is ridiculous. I’ve been storing tobacco’s in jars for over 45 years, never an issue. Plus both Mason and Ball jars have an inside layer on the lid of a neutral material. Metal never touches the tobacco. Years ago my grandfather smoked Granger in all metal canisters as did many other tobacco manufacturers did and sold, no issues. |

Did you hear the history of the Coca-Cola product, a few years back, the 24 pack of cans with the polar bear on them? People swore up and down they tasted different than "regular" coke: www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/8933476/Coca-Cola-drops-polar-bear-cans-because-consumers-prefer-to-see-red.htmlAt one point, my local grocery store was selling them for $1 for a whole case of 24 cokes! It makes me wonder if theres a mental component to it! But I do believe they are different, and it comes down to the way they are handled and processed, bulk vs. tinned. Regardless, everyone I have talked to has told me that the matches produced by Hiland's is as good or better than the Dunhill bulks, so we may have a haven there when this thing is over. |

Also lone coyote I think you took me a little too literally there. I mean ageing tobacco in a metal tin vs storeing in a ball jar. I wonder if the metal in the tinned tobaccos take on a different note because of the tin itself. I think it comes down to handling and the way they're processed. You know something funny? I think that the Gawith Hoggarth tobaccos are better bulk than they are tinned! Reverse! |

I am not big into Dunhill but I am not a fool either. I am stocking a few of each blend away and the couple of their blends that I really like I am cellaring a little deeper. Just so I can age and try down the road OR have something to trade down that road.

Never tried that tobacco in reverse but your not the first person too also mention this .
My grandfather ONLY smoked Granger and Half & Half, both were packed in metal canisters. He never once complained about any metallic taste or aroma. I still have one of his Granger tin canisters sealed. It’s going with me to the other side when my time is up on Earth. I’ve been smoking Granger from a 35 plus year old tin, no foul aroma or metallic taste.

I store my blends much the same way.. Except I love these jars that have the metal spring sealing lids with the rubber. I get them in thrift stores for 50 cents! Keeps my tobacco wonderfully fresh!  |

Those are refered to as "bail lid" jars and as long as the rubber ring is pliable all is well. You can get new rings at most Target and Wally-World stores. I replace mine every year on the jars I open often. |

When the remaining Dunhill inventory runs out, it’s over. Due to the new FDA and European counterpart rules, another company can no longer produce new blends. Under the guidelines, if C&D (or anyone else) were to produce London Mixture (or any other Dunhill blend), it would be considered a new blend, different from STG produced LM. As far as I know, we do not have any counterpart rules; at least not in Denmark. |

I've gotta get myself done mm965 before it's too late. I've heard good things about that. ...and they are all true. My Mixture No. 965 kicked off my love of Latakia.

They do work great just as your showing/doing, also keep a double folded piece of plastic wrap between the rubber seal and glass cover. Works well for long term storage, if open just replace plastic wrap...that simple. |

I just got some of Hiland's Nightcap match. So far it feels and looks the same. Smells the same too. Just took out some real nightcap for comparison. No gooey/overly moist consistency. It looks really good actually. I haven't smoked it yet, but I have high hopes with this. A few years ago some people gave this stuff some really bad reviews. Not sure why.
