I always appreciated the art work on some of the old tobacco pouches and tins. I thought it would be interesting to see how many of you share my appreciation of the art, and post some of your favorites here, and perhaps comment if you or someone you knew of (father, grandfather, etc.) may have smoked that particular brand. Here are some that I like |

This is going to be a fun thread to follow! I starting pipe smoking too late for good tin art (painted on the container not stickers). What I do have is a tin of Arrowhead Pipe Club Mixture, the manufacturer is not listed on can but folks believe it to be from the 1950's-60's. As a side note, this was a full tin and the baccy is very smokable. A touch dry but not brittle at all.  Top with the attached key to open  |

I really like a lot of the newer C&D tin graphics, like Haunted Bookshop. I guess for the most part I like all the art on favorite blends. I like the fancy and the minimalistic. Really like the War Horse Bar tins. Like the McC Christmas Cheer tins. Really like most of them so I'll have to remember some more to be specific.

Thanks, that is a rich, elegant color of blue, like on a Ulysses Nardin, or Rolex watch.

I love these old tins. Pisses me off that we get generic tins with a sticker these days. I relly feel bad for europeans who are forced to pay for a picture of smoking-related illness with their tins.
