I realize that if three of us all smoked some tobacco from the same
tin, we may all have different opinions on the product we're smoking.
What I was referring to was opening 2 tins of say any Samuel Gawith
product purchased at diffent times and or different shops, and
finding a big difference in the taste of the product. I am only using
SG as an example. It could be Cornel & Diehl, or House of Windsor,
etc.
Are there some producers where the quality varies from one batch to
another more than other producers.
Mac Baren specifically claims on their web site that their products
taste the same no matter when produced or where sold, and that they
constantly check their product for that consistency.
