Wow, stunning assembly, too much too take in during one short viewing session. I love the assembly of MM965 tins. Are these all in your collection?
I can only wish, I certainly ain't no Rockefeller!
:crying:
Sadly, it's my virtual collection, I go around looking for rare or odd tins, so it's only the images I got.
I've gotten lucky though, whilst looking for all this crap I sometimes stumble on an actual live full tin ready for the buyin' on the cheap --- just last night I found an old unopened tin of Dobie's No. 7 Blend for all of $11.99 !!!! It's got rust on the bottom and actually unlikely that the vacuum is intact, from what I've read about these old Dobie tins, but for $12 shipped it's all alright with me!
That it came from Chattanooga means alot personally to me as well, most of my family lives up in the Chickamauga area and we always spent a good bit of time in the 'ol choo-choo town...
A simply stunning collection of photos.
As long as the Dobie's hasn't turned to dust you can probably rehydrate it if you are very careful.

How old are some of those tins, I see stuff that looks like its from the 20s, are these going back further?
What a wonderful collection of images from the heyday of tobacco blending - a museum in itself. I bet they were all great smokes; they must have been because of the fierce competition in those days. Most are long extinct, but some are still with us - including Bulwark!!
I love these old tins! I went on to ebay and started looking and was very surprised at some of the prices
($200 +)for some of these. Great collection.

That is great. I remember smoking a couple of the blends here. Sobranie for sure and a fair amount of Savory's Baby's Bottom in my Savory's Semi-Matte, which I still have. Thanks for the fun ride.
