as has been said ealier I’ve noticed two tins of the same snuff to be noticably diffrent although obviously the same snuff.
I have a collection similar to Xander’s. I have new Levi (from a trade) new WE Garrett, Levi about the same age as Xander’s, I’ve had some of Xander’s Levi, and I have some 1920’s WE. I can tell a bit of difference from all 5. Now, this could very well be my brain telling me that they are different, so they should taste different, or they are all actually different. Perhaps a blind taste test could solve this riddle. I might have to try that tonight when my wife gets home from work.
84hobbs? what?
@ Leman: I would expect anything made in the 1920’s, or even as recently as a few years ago to “taste” somewhat different than that made recently. A snuff kept in Western Europe for a year would problably be somewhat different than one kept in the Southwest USA, given the difference in climate.
