What do you mean '... but soon it will be over" ? Royal Yacht is gone ! It's over ! I was surprised RY soldout online as fast as the big three. It moved slower during the Murray/Orlik transition. I saw this 4oz tin of vintage RY at last weekend. The tin looked slightly puckered so the tobacco is probably perfect. I didn't ask the price.
I remember those 4 oz tins of RY! My first few were the older knife lid/painted top then as they came into use they changed to the painted lid vacum coin twist tops then they were gone ! Only the 2 oz painted coin twist tops were available ! I've got 15 tins of RY ( need more!) 10 tins of 965 and 6 tins of TYM

I bought about 25 assorted tins over the years, a lone tin of Royal Yacht, mostly Navy Rolls, and Dunhill flake...the Bulk Dunhill's I have cellared a pound of each...them bulks will be around for awhile, I am slow on my English smokes.
James is sitting on gold...live long and prosper!

Buy fifty more tins, wait a bit, sell them and you will probably get back all the money you spent on Dunhill tins for the last push. The final sales of soon to be banished tobacco blends is coming unless the courts or Congress does something.😁 OK, I’ve been blowing through a ton of cash lately so I didn’t buy 50, I bought 15. You sir are an enabler lol.. So long as there are codependent people, I suppose there will be enablers.😁

That line sounds vaguely familiar … LOL!
It was purchased already jarred around 5 years ago and was likely a few years old at that time … soooo 7-10 years? Pretty sure there is a large jar of Frog Morton from that same batch as well. Are you interested in buying older English blends?
This depends on the blend, how old the blend is, how well the blend has been stored, the price and if the financial picture improves a bit. Let me know when you are ready and we will see.

The final sales of soon to be banished tobacco blends is coming unless the courts or Congress does something.😁 I believe the purchase of “ any “ tobacco products will be banned with online sale within two years.....JMHO I believe that if or when this occurs, it will be after the FDA has fully enacted its current proposed regulations. There are states that are planning or already have limited the sales process, though these states tend to be dominated by one flavor of politics. How soon further action is taken is anyone's guess. Still if or when such things universally come to pass, there will be an underground market for these goods with trades occurring amongst forums and locals. PS Folks are already selling tins that are still in stock at P&C etc., for more than the purchase price. A number of people appear to be unaware of what is out there, though most know Dunhill blends are no longer being produced.

Actually this was bought from a forum member who sales on the side. From another forum. Most of you who know me from that forum knows him. Can't say his name big brother is watching.

And the prices were very good at the time....looking back now, they were pretty awesome deals...I couldn't pull the trigger at the time...it seems some big expense is always coming my way.

Man, I thought cellaring 20 tins of Dunhill Flake was a big deal. Clearly I'm an amateur.

One problem she knows that I enjoy the tobaccos displayed and not one, bar my demise, would be resold.
