Favorite Tin / Pouch Design / Art?

Yeah the Tsuge tins are awesome. I also have grown fond of the SmokersHaven Exotique tin

Offhand, Dan Tobacco's Hamborger Veermaster for me! Though there are many fine examples!

But I'm just a sucker for nautical themes -- odd since I grew up only 600km from the geographic centre of North America.

I grew up in Alabama yet crave the snowy mountains of Montana. We want what we can't have.

Cool thread!

For me, it might be the Hermit Christmas tins.

The label on the "new" Crown Achievement tin is quite nice.

The minarets on Rattrays Black Mallory and Red Rapparee tins are great.

Good call.
Also, I like the Solani square tins.

My favorite tins are the McClelland tins.

I'm a bit simple in my artistic tastes, so the Cornell & Diehl Autumn Evening logo really works for me... http://pipesmagazine.com/python/files/2009/09/autumn-evening-label.jpg

I actually like some simple artwork. The Gawith tins with the seasons on them are really appealing to me for a similar reason. There seems something appealing about the idea that the blend one smoke corresponds to a particular season, though I don't really choose blends that ways

Love the Tsuge Dragon God - the smoke is good too

My GF votes for Frog Morton, but I'm more like Bengal Slices and War Horse kind of guy. Pease tins all have good art, but not on the lids. Ought to be two categories, one lids, one side!

My vote also goes to Nightcap. It's very appropriate for the blend, and I love the artwork. ::

I like these from Dan Tobacco...

We want what we can't have.

This keeps us striving for excellence...

Royal Yacht, something Marixst about it. Naw, maybe Leninist. Sorry, hmm, hmm, maybe Something Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. No that's not right.........Maybe something John Galt about it. No that doesn't do. Maybe it's Hitlarian or Benito! NAW, Could be Something Pope Francis about it, or Al Sharpton about it. Could be something Margert Sanger, or Alinsky about it. There's definitely something Barry about it. No, that doesn't work. Yellow....Red....Yacht....no that's to rich for the likes of most of the crew I named. Hell, I don't know.....Its Royal Yacht! Best damn tin in the bag, I's ah say.

There should be a museum showing of the best of pipe tobacco tin art. So many are excellent. It may not be the single all-time best, but I am stuck on McClellands whale in moonlight theme, and my favorite color scheme for that art work is the gold and orange Christmas Pipe tin. C&D's old tins, some of which are still in circulation, are exceptional -- so many -- I like Riverboat Gambler, but a dozen others as well.

Sounds right to me. Or: proto art deco.
