Ok I just tried it. I didn’t see any fur nor any green mould stuff, so put a small amount in a bowl and lit it up...............Yuk I didn’t like it 🤮🤢 Lucky that the rest of the bag smells good & I will throw that tin of yuk away. So now I know, smells like vinegar, throw it away! 😩😁 It depends on the blend. That blend you got there, no, shouldn't smell like vinegar. If you grab Sutliff's 515 RC-1, it will smell like vinegar and should. If you like or develop a liking to Virgnia, that is a great blend to have in one's cellar. |

It has to be better than the yuk I just smoked lol 😀 |

I've been wondering about that one for a good while. I've only seen it on line and if I buy any more tobacco right now the better half will serve papers on me...I still have some 2010 and an unopened tin of St. James Woods, after that ,it's on to 515 RC1    . As I've never even tried a McClellands Virginia, I'm unable to compare. None-the-less, I'd second the recommendation on the Sutliff Matured Red Virginia 515 RC1. I've never tried a matured red before so it's always a pleasant surprise when one finds another tasty leaf and blend to broaden ones experiences. Based on others recommendations, I've jarred and cellared a pound for a bit of ageing which improves many blends, Virginias in particular. |

I've only seen it on line and if I buy any more tobacco right now the better half will serve papers on me...I still have some 2010 and an unopened tin of St. James Woods, after that ,it's on to 515 RC1 . You know how girls come back from shopping the sales with an armful of crap that they don't really need and then try to convince their other half that they've saved heaps by spending big? Well that works both ways. Whenever you buy a heap of tobacco, preferably at a discount, boast to the missus on how much money you actually saved by buying up big. With the rumblings and rumours of tax hikes and changing the laws re; on-line tobacco sales, it would be wise to stock up while tobacco is still cheap and freely available [Don't think it could happen? Not that I think that it will ever be as bad in the U.S. as it is here in Nanny State Australia, but a 50g tin is $85 and will be $100 by the end of the year] Most tobacco improves with age. Tobacco would be a valuable trade item should shite ever hit the fan. Tobacco holds it's value and many aged tinned blends increase in value. Once you've explained all this to your missus, she'll be able to see that you're actually protecting her future by making such astute investments. |
