Same here on the Dryburgh stuff. The Walmart stuff is in a very small container -- something like 1/3 oz. That also reduces shelf life, I'd guess.

Although after a year it might not be as potent. -- JF On Sun, Apr 12, 2009 at 8:27 PM, William Monroe <bill at a440piano.net> wrote: > Yep, > > Dittos on the Dryburgh.
