Tin Art

[rosney]

I have tried to do a search for this but nothing came up. If it has been discussed before I apologize. Also, if it is in the wrong place feel free to move it.
I have discovered since recently taking up the pipe that one of my favorite aspects is the tin art. When I first started I never thought I would buy a tin because it is more expensive and I wasnt that serious. Well I have discovered that reality has been the opposite in fact. When choosing a tobacco the tin is what gets my attention at first then if I like the contents I will buy it. I don't have many yet but my favorite so far is Dunhill's Nightcap.
I wanted to start a thread where we can share our favorite tin art since odds are I wont get to see a lot of variety at my local store. Lets see them!

Good idea. Some of the tin art on the older blends is really neat. I'll have to see what I have in storage and post some pictures.

What a timely thread: I was just discussing this with my son this morning. I think it would be neat to see some of the old "original" tin art, too.
