(2) Tins of Russ Ouellette Acadian Gold 2016

Two 2018 tins. Very interesting and unique blend. I have to imagine it will never be made again due to the passing of Mark Ryan in late 2025.

Tins have been stored in mylar in an air conditioned basement for their entire lives. There is a very small amount of surface rust on edges, nothing going up into the seals.

"In October of 2015, while spending a day with Mark Ryan at the L.A. Poche Perique Company in St. James Parish, Louisiana. our own Russ Ouellette asked Mark if he had ever thought of trying to process Virginia in the same method as perique. Mark said that he had thought of it, but was told it wouldn't work. After a bit of conversation, Mark decided to bring down some bright, sweet, yellow, Canadian-grown Virginia to give it a try. The processing time had to be much shorter due to the aggressive fermentation due to the high sugar content, but the result, called Acadian Gold, has more depth than normal Virginia with a malty note unlike anything else. The RO Series Acadian Gold is 100% pure Acadian Gold. Here's your opportunity to try this one-of-a-kind tobacco. Only two barrels were made, so you'll want to get yours soon before it's gone."
