[QUOTE="peckinpahhombre, post: 339719, member: 2793"] "Oh dear, what ever you do don't dry out any Samuel Gawith or Gawith Hoggarth blends to compare weight before/after the fact, it's not a petty picture. " I hear you on this. I always had the same feeling. The fact that SG has that statement of their tobacco indicating that the weight is the weight of the tobacco at the time of tinning only made me think this even more.
