I found a bunch of various old tins of scotch and one tin of Tube Rose unopened for 2 bucks. Of course I snagged it. Any one know what era this is possibly from? The tin is all metal, a little rust here and there.
I checked with a magnifying Glass and I still couldn’t make anything out. I suppose it doesn’t matter, I couldn’t help myself to crack it open and take a snoot. Surprisely flavorful. I’ve never had tube rose before, so i don’t know how it compared to fresh, but it wasnt bad. Pleasant mild smoke scent with a sweetness. Drip was nice and sweet. Psychologically, I think I gave myself a stomach ache thinking I was snuffing 50 year old tobacco. Just a bit of a turn off. Thinking chances are most of the people who handled this tobacco are probably dead. Then it started to smell more of musk than smoke.
no zip code on the address puts it pre-1963
Wow. That’s some old snuff. I almost regret opening the tin. Almost
