You may assume that the tins on the [[Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1970s & 1980s]] list are in reasonably good condition, requiring at worst some minor rehydration. If that proves not to be the case, within two weeks of shipment you may return the opened, but still completely full tin, for a refund of the purchase price (not including shipping). | You may assume that the tins on the [[Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1970s & 1980s]] list are in reasonably good condition, requiring at worst some minor rehydration.

Tins from the Older Tins - [[Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1960s & Earlier]] are sold 'as is' without any assurances. These tins are all well over a quarter century, some over a half century old and even when they look 'pristine' there's a risk that there are hidden problems. | Tins from the Older Tins - [[Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1960s & Earlier]] are sold 'as is' without any assurances. These tins are all well over a quarter century, some over a half century old and even when they look 'pristine' there's a risk that there are hidden problems. On the other hand I have found 'perfect' tobacco in the grungiest of tins. I should also add that I have rarely found a situation where the tobacco could not be salvaged to some extent. (As an examples I am presently smoking my way through a pound of 1943 Dunhill American Mixture from a wartime, hardly 'airtight, cardboard container. And for an incredible rusted tin tale [[Read this personal experience]]. Generally speaking, a round 'coin twist' tin is a safer bet then a knife lid (or a pop top) of equal age but especially before the 1960s they are not readily found. | ||
For an enjoyable risk free smoke, the tins from the '70s & the '80s do the trick quite nicely, but for a sometimes unforgettable experience, as well as the mystique of drawing wisps of smoke born before you or perhaps even your parents, you have to risk the older tins. I can not gainsay those that shake their heads, but then how many supposedly sensible people in the land of the Cubs and the Bears are paying thousands of dollars to keep their Bulls tickets in hopes of 'next year' - and if nothing else, you don't get ulcers from knife lids. | For an enjoyable risk free smoke, the tins from the '70s & the '80s do the trick quite nicely, but for a sometimes unforgettable experience, as well as the mystique of drawing wisps of smoke born before you or perhaps even your parents, you have to risk the older tins.
