Funny stuff, Alan!I would open the tin very carefully (so I don't spill any ) then gently load my pipe with it and smoke it.

How was it? What was it?
I've had several tins that old. The vacuum sealad ones are the only ones I trust unless it's guaranteed. Beware some of the older C&D tins as they are not even properly sealed.

I just bought a tin of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2000 for this holiday season.
To appease my appetite for old VAs I packed a Stanwell with some '99 #22.
I figure I can hold off until Thanksgiving before cracking the Cheer.
That should be sweet! VAs age well. Haven't been disappointed yet. I've had some English blends(C&D, Pease) that didn't keep as well. The coin twist Orlik aged the best. The container MAY be part of the reason. Only one more tin still sealed. -I just bought a tin of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2000 for this holiday season.

That's a good year for Christmas Cheer. I've picked up a few tins to have around I like it so much. I'll be cracking a tin from 1996 this year. I can't wait to see what it's like. :love:
