This case of 1963 Smith Woodhouse arrived---and here is a joy! Original box with straw packing. Very cool!

Very cool. I hope you plan on keeping the straw. History in that box!

What's the most recent case of port to use straw?

The most recent I saw was '70 Niepoort.

It wasn't Port, but I bought a case of 1996 Fesles Bonnezeaux that was packed with straw like that.

That's really awesome! Gotta love it when you get a case that's still in its original packing.
