An issue has been brought up by a member of another forum pertaining to the Sutliff produced Hearth and Home blends packaged in the tins with the SILVER bottoms. The aluminum bottoms of these tins was produced without any coating, or protective layer and are prone to rusting on the inside. The outside however shows no sign of oxidation. Russ has been made aware of this issue and will make arrangements to replace any affected tins.
After seeing that thread I checked my stash and had tins 4 with silver bottoms. After opening those and all 4 had various levels of oxidation.
This is only for the tins with silver bottoms the tins with gold colored bottoms have a protective coating, and are an issue.
Again, if you've had a problem with these tins, contact me at russo@pipesandcigars.com and I will make arrangements for replacements.
