Tin/Label Art

Isn't this a duplicate thread or am I seeing double?

You must be young............... CD's????
If you think they take up space try LP's............. I've spent HOURS looking over the art on those....

My favorite tobacco tin art is Dunhill's "The Aperitif'................ I never pick a blend based on the art, but I do like this mixture, though I liked the Durbar much more..........

Never saw those Tsuge tins before, but they are wonderful. Of course, I like Japanese art in general and have some woodblock prints, an original Samurai Katana and a small collection of netsuke.

I’ve got three netsuke pieces that I picked up at gem shows, but I dare not post them on here, ha ha.

I haven't looked at my tins as art in a very long time. I toss my empty tins in the trash and that is all I do now. I used to give my empty tins to my ex wife but she says she has plenty now. I go through a lot of tins a month. I don't remember ever seeing any kind of warnings on my tins. U don't know when they started that crap but it was after I built my cellar.

Ever pick up a tin based on the artwork?

I have, just to look at it a bit closer. But, I've never purchased a blend based on the packaging. My dear departed wife was known to purchase wine based on the label appearance. Never worked out as well as she hoped it might.

I will admit that the last time I was in Eurobe I used to but cigarettes and blends so as to collect the "warning" labels. Fascinating they were.
