@Xander - I have gotten a few of the old yellow label tins from my smoking shop. They were a bit more rusted than the ones with the maroon labels, but not too bad. They didn’t seem to be any more dried out either.
Thanks for the tip leman. Yes, I suppose they are maroon labels. The shop actually gives you the choice though, which is nice. They don’t actually tell you what color, just (B) or (Y), so I presumed it was brown since it looks more brown than black or blue. Actually it looks like the same color they use on the new plastic dispensers, which I guess is maroon. I’m glad to know you didn’t have a bad experience with yours. I’d like to say which one I got in yellow, and which ones in brown, but for some reason earthlink mail service isn’t working tonight, so if they sent the order receipt I can’t read it. I know i got some of the “crests” and cuckoo and some other weird names and maybe apricot. I also grabbed some Pöshl shmalzers and some Bernards. These areas of my collection had gaping holes. So much for my buying moratorium. Also want to get the new Toques. Good thing I got my taxes done and have a refund coming, it makes me feel better about spending.
I believe the yellow tins pre-date the maroon tins. They must be very old.
Camphor in snuffs can have an odd effect upon me, if there’s a lot of throat drip then I suddenly realise my throat struggles to swallow. Have never had this with any other snuffs, but those with camphor can do this if I’ve been using a lot and experienced a lot of throat drip. Effect seems to last a few hours and isn’t dependent upon moisture in the mouth, it’s very uncomfortable however to try to swallow and the muscles feel 80% paralysed.
Wilson’s need to bring this one back. Mainly because I haven’t got much left of the stockpile I bought off My Smoking Shop at the time of the label change law thingy!
What’s this one called these days?
It was one of many discontinued.
god i wish i could get ahold of more of this

The Toque Camphor and Clove is rather nice…how did this one compare to those lucky enough to try?
