It was a great blend, but it was basically Margate, and i did not need it, considering i have an 8oz bag of it.

Speaking of which, 1/2 lb of Old Joe just showed up at my door along with couple of oz's of 7 Seas Black to try out. Woohoo! :clap:

Good question that I dont have an answer for. In the early eighties I used to buy/smoke cans of PA that were half that size and had a little lift tab that could be used open the lid each time. I don't think its quite that old but ya never know! I'm sure there are some out there that can probably give is a ballpark guess.

Did an FNG/FOG style trade, and have a whole bunch of bulk blends coming my way.

Didn't even look at the list before I made my trade offer, so no clue what I'm getting yet!

From 1979 to 1989 or so a tub of SWR cost me $12-$17, and steady going up in price. I'm going to say that tub is late 1960s or very early 1970s. Notice it still says "pipe and cigarette".
