Brooks Brothers Pipe Tobacco

In addition to my pipe collection and my tobacco cellar I also collect books about pipe smoking and tobacco ephemera, such as tampers, cool old tins, signage etc.; the stuff I look for is generally from the mid-twentieth century onward, I leave the really old stuff for others. Several weeks ago while on the prowl I found an odd tin of tobacco I had never seen before. After some time searching the web for info I came up dry. So I am asking you, my fellow pipe smoking enthusiasts, for any info you may have on this tin. It comes from the Brooks Brothers clothing store in New York City, presumably this was the "proper" blend for the well heeled gentleman to smoke and retain the style and sophistication Brooks Brothers clothiers are known for, any info you may have would be appreciated.

Thanks for the inquires Kevin, I wonder if the current Brooks Brothers management is even aware they once sold tobacco; I am glad that they have a company archivist, as old and established a company as them.
