Newbie with some potentially interesting tobacco?..

[Ali87]

Hi everyone. I've been an occasional pipe smoker for the last few years. It started as a way to keep the midges away while fishing. I started with a corncob pipe I picked up in the states and relatively recently commissioned a "Hucks" pipe (nice guy with some lovely pipes).

Recently a friend gave me some old tobacco he found in his grandads old stash and just wondered if anyone knows much about it?

Thanks in advance and hello!
Ali

Hi Ali, it's customary to introduce yourself in the relevant section 1st. Regards your enquiry (I'm a pipe newbie myself) the one on the left is probably not that old by the look of it. Here's a link for pipe tobacco reviews http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/...st-bruno-flake
The 'Grand Cut' isn't listed on there but I reckon it's from the 1970's to 1980's have you checked the content? If it's smokeable it would be interesting to find out what you think about it. [emoji106]

The Grand Cut (I think) is long out of production. So if its sealed and intact it could well still be smokeable. However it could hold more value as a keep sake by virture of being sealed and complete (if indeed it is)

So its up to you really, try and smoke something you are not guaranteed to be able to get again. Or keep a charming piece of tobacco history intact and [possibly] growing in value.

Roger that, Ali87. Fun find, no doubt.

For the record - it was Ray Jay, Ray Jay Coro who made me post that last wise-guy post. Please accept me apology.
