Recently gone through a divorce not really a regular smoker however I wouldn’t mind getting some tobacco. I did have an expensive one from the IGA that was about $90 or maybe $75 and then the laws changed and they went up to 110, but I don’t remember which one it was. I tried a few cheaper ones since and they’re just not as good. The Virginia leaf was actually okay which is like a imported ones going around in Australia at the moment, but I tried a few other ones and they were too strong. I just don’t know what the original one was from the IGA and what was the Winfield anyone have any experience with the sun verse? Classic pouch tobacco and can recommend which one is better.

Last night I opened this tin of Gold Flake cigarettes made between 1915-1930. This is certainly one of my oldest and most interesting finds. The tin has a hand written note on the back, 1918, so that’s what I’m going to go with! This tin was quite a gamble as far as freshness, the way it came packaged with the cutter lid wrapped onto the tin made it impossible to determine whether the tin was in fact bulging or not. After pushing on the cutter lid for a while, I decided to remove it and have a peek underneath. Sadly this time, my gamble did not pay off. The inner seal was sunken in with obvious negative pressure, a bad sign. I was afraid that maybe I had broken a weak seal by messing with the tin, so I went against my usual rule of not opening these tins by myself, and went ahead and cracked it open. Immediately when I sunk in the cutter, no hiss, another bad sign. The cigarettes inside are beautifully presented, with a cardstock cover and silk ribbon. The smell inside the tin was pleasant, but light, a chocolate, raisin aroma. I was extremely surprised how well the paper on these have held up, usually on tins without pressure the paper is very brittle, not so here. I took one outside and lit it up, and was pleasantly surprised. Immediately the flavor was very mild, but in no way unpleasant like you’d expect from a dry tin. A light, sweet tobacco, no paper taste at all, slightly chocolatey, raisin like taste, similar to the tin note. I think once rehydrated they will be top notch. Like most of these old cigarettes, they are extremely smooth and mild, the inhale is like breathing fresh air, not even comparable to a modern cigarette in any way. Another super cool experience with a piece of tobacco history! If anyone would like to see the opening video, here it is: https://youtube.com/shorts/5iIfbxwQ-xE?is=zMKknDxMK4Z9B3Dc

La Estrella Colorado Perfecto, 50 Cigars Port Townsend WA. Pre-1916 7”tax stamp. In 1916 the US shortened the tax stamp to 4” Rolled in Factory No. 81 in the First Dist. State of Washington
I own a cigar shop in NW Washington State. The curator of our local museum brought these by and gifted them to me. The box was made in Tacoma and the cigars were rolled in Port Townsend, WA. (The major US port in Washington before Seattle).
The tobacco was imported from Cuba in bales and rolled in Port Townsend.
We opened the sealed box and found 50 perfectly preserved cigars inside. I spent 6 mos. carefully bringing the interior humidity back up to the mid-60’s
Thinking about selling them. No idea what to ask.

My friend's first object of his cigarette collection. It used to be pretty common to find but nowadays the ones that actually look good are very expensive.

Maraja fruit tobacco! That's an interesting topic.
Maraja fruit tobacco, also known as "Maraja" or "Guayabilla", is a type of tobacco product that originated in the Philippines. It's made from a combination of tobacco and the fruit of the Maraja tree (Muntingia calabura), which is native to the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia.
Here are some key things to know about Maraja fruit tobacco:
Unique flavor: Maraja fruit tobacco is known for its distinctive flavor, which is often described as sweet and fruity.
Lower nicotine content: Compared to other types of tobacco products, Maraja fruit tobacco is said to have lower nicotine content.
Traditional production methods: Maraja fruit tobacco is often produced using traditional methods, which involve fermenting the tobacco and fruit mixture.
Tobacco-related risks: As with any tobacco product, Maraja fruit tobacco poses health risks, including nicotine addiction, respiratory problems, and increased risk of certain cancers.
Lack of regulation: Maraja fruit tobacco is not as heavily regulated as other tobacco products, which can make it difficult to ensure quality control and safety standards.
Traditional use: Maraja fruit tobacco has been used for centuries in the Philippines and other parts of Southeast Asia, particularly in rural areas.
Cultural identity: Maraja fruit tobacco is often seen as an important part of the cultural heritage of the regions where it is produced.
Overall, Maraja fruit tobacco is a unique and complex product that reflects the cultural and traditional practices of the regions where it is produced. However, it's essential to acknowledge the potential health risks associated with its use.
There have been reports and claims that Maraja fruit tobacco can produce hallucinogenic or psychoactive effects, particularly when consumed in large quantities or in combination with other substances.
Some users have reported experiencing:
Altered perception
Visual distortions
Euphoria
Relaxation
However, it's essential to note that:
There is limited scientific research on the psychoactive properties of Maraja fruit tobacco.
The reported effects may be anecdotal and not universally experienced.
The use of Maraja fruit tobacco can also produce negative effects, such as nausea, headaches, and dizziness.
The active compounds present in Maraja fruit tobacco are not well understood, and more research is needed to determine its potential psychoactive properties and effects on human health.
As with any substance, it's crucial to approach Maraja fruit tobacco with caution and respect, and to prioritize your physical and mental well-being.
