 At least someone enjoyed using my bottle judging by the little bits of tobacco still stuck inside.  Grin

Hi Brenda,

We all have a favourite bottle in our collections - one that 'speaks to you' in a special way. The reason why one stands out from the rest is often hard to explain, even to oneself.  It may have to do with the circumstances under which it was acquired, or it may be associated with some particular event or person, or it may simply feel good to hold in one's hand.
 
And, as the residual remains of old snuff suggests, you aren't the first to find this bottle intrinsically attractive.

So forget its age, its provenance, its value on the market, and what others say. Just enjoy it for what it is......
YOUR FAVOURITE BOTTLE !!

 Cool

For deeper consolation I recommend Latakia of the two-mills in Rotterdam NL. http://www.snuifmolenswebshop.nl/Webwinkel-Product-5681925/Latakia-Ao-1860.html.html?sid=vvjrb6ldq8q332t2dmcfcfsbb6&Lng=en   Shocked
