Sheesh … when I decide it's time to sell some tins it should be really easy at 1/2 that price!

Golly. I have a bunch of McClelland and others. I'll just pretend I'm rich when I smoke it.

Forget the Vintage Syrian. Did you see the price on that tin of Drucquer and Sons? Dracquer & Sons: Cooks #5 4oz 1989 - . $450.00 |

There's no night and day change in aged tobacco. May be a mellowing but nothing worth more than $5/ounce. I still have many pounds of McClelland tobacco that I've been offered some big money over but won't sell as I fully intend to smoke it and if sold I would never get to again. 4noggins has my all time favorite blend "Mephisto" on that page. No way is it worth the asking price.

When I found out Vintage Syrian was going, I bought 5 pounds of bulk and jarred it up. I haven't touched it since. Maybe I should get in on the action......nah....I'm just going to keep it for myself! |

I bought a 15 year old tin of Pelican at a show last year for about $70, and honestly the only reason I bought it was because I love the tin art so much. It was delicious and I enjoyed every smoke of it and wish they still made it. It's also the tin I use as my "carrying around" tin that I dump whatever I'm smoking into because it fits in my pocket nicely as compared to some of the round ones. Plus, I always get comments on it because of the tin art. Speaking of, If anyone has any empty tins of this or Kingfisher I'll buy them off you to have a couple more around for various things. Cheers!

The price on the vintage Syrian is a head scratcher. That was available for sale no much more than a year ago.

I hid a couple of sleeves away in the cellar, hoping I would develop a taste for it. I haven't. lol Probably going to trade them at some point. |
