The manufacturing code says it was manufactured the 340th day of 1959. The tin is rich dark Virginia and is fine cut.
The aroma reminds me of the ancient tin of WF Monroe Cigar Company No. 2. Kind of a generic tobacco smell. Maybe 50+ year tobacco turns to something ultra mellow.
Tobacco was not dry and cracking the had that wooosh noise. Seal held very well.
Smoking it now and I expected sweetness off the chart but really it is just a mellow smoke. Slightly sweet but not overly so. There is a hint of plum. Similar to the 1970s tin of MacBaren Plum Cake which the topping totally flushed off.
