Oh.. before I forget, I talked about caked-on snuff due to moisture.  Chinese sellers learn - very - fast, so watch out.  Some of the sellers that noticed I liked/preferred these somehow, they used finely ground brown sugar to resemble caked on snuff for next time I came around, if they did not have any real snuff or could not procure any to properly fake it. However, fortunately, under a good magnifying glass you can recognize the crystalized structure of sugar! So please also dont let that fool you into thinking it is an older bottle, especially if you can not examine the bottle (i.e. internet...)
