H&H Marble Kake

Completed a trade recently with a brother on another site for this Peterson Dalkey. Gave it a brief polish. Nice smoker:-)

Chris (Sancho) was offering-up some aged tobacco tin's here on the forum, and I purchased a couple of '07 McClelland Grand Orientals Drama Reserve...

Image

Chris included a couple of body guards, samples of '99 Samuel Gawith 1792 Flake and '09 Davidoff Flake Medallion...

Thank you Chris...:-)

Did he have those on eBay ?
[Reply]

Yeah, Jake puts up at least a couple cobs per week when he lists his briar pipes.

Good deal, thanks

Got some great service from Peretti. Very helpful to a Canuck. Recommended.
I'm yet to try the Thanksgiving, but waiting.....

Mark - are those paint tin style jobbies form Peretti airtight?
[Reply]

Hello Neil, I would think so, but do not know the long term at this time. I just sent an email to Peretti' inquiring about "just how airtight are the 8oz tin's in regards to cellaring over a period of time."

I'll let you know once I have received a response back from them.

I don't know how long the tin's are sealed prior to a customer receiving one from Peretti' (i.e., are the tin's on the shelf for a period of time, or does Peretti' fill em' up per order?).

BTW, I just received two 4oz bricks of the Thanksgiving Day blend, and an 8oz tin of #8 Slice Flake from Peretti' last week:-)

I've kept tobacco in Peretti's paint tins for a year or more. No worries unless you plan for long term cellaring.
[Reply]

:-). With the tobacco apocalypse looming, might need 20 years ability on some blends...
[Reply]

That's good to know Warren. I would think a little "sealing wax" around the plug on top would help longevity too.

Still awaiting feedback from Peretti'...

1st TAD order in awhile as I've been focusing on cigars. Bought the CB Grape because of the influence of a another forums thread. Has a strong grape jelly smell.

Edited to say it's more of a childrens grape cough medicine smell.
