of course, if stored properly

VAs especially, but I've heard good things about 09 on another forum

I say grab a tin

if you do buy a tin, and open it immediately, do yourself a favor.
get a bowl.
start rubbing out the tobacco over top of the bowl. keep rubbing every handful to the consistancy you like until you've done the ENTIRE tin and it's in the bowl.
put it back in the tin.

if you don't rub out McClellands broken flakes while they're still pliable, you will have a hard time doing it when they dry to a good smoking humidity.

Awesome advise! thanks again guys- Does this go for any of the other tobacco's I ordered?

I haven't picked up any Christmas Cheer in a few years. I think it was 04 that disappointed, and so there have been a couple years that I never bothered trying.

So, '08 is a good year to have on stock? Anybody tried the '09 yet?

Going to order 3 tins here shortly, maybe 4. I always cellar two and crack one or two open. Might even go crazy and get 5 tins. It doesnt go bad.
