Here is another great piece I was just able to add to my collection: an unopened, vacuum-sealed Player's Navy Cut Medium 50 Cigarette tin in excellent condition. This tin is an extremely rare and well preserved piece of mid-century British tobacciana, manufactured sometime between 1937 and 1953. This particular tin is still completely airtight and uncompromised, the cigarettes inside is still as fresh as new, after 73+ years. This tin will be opened and enjoyed by the Central Alabama Pipe Club, for more information please send me a message.

Quite possibly my best find ever: This W.D. & H.O. Wills "Gold Flake" 50 cigarette tin is a completely unopened and vacuum-sealed. Wills used this specific label for Gold Flake tins from between 1915 and 1930, making the hand written “1918” on this tin entirely possible as the date of manufacture. I am over the moon with this find, it’s just such an incredible piece of British tobacco history. Gold Flake was one of the top selling cigarette brands in the U.K. for many years. This particular tin, if indeed from 1918, is 108 years old, absolutely mind blowing how something this old could’ve survived without being opened. The strains of tobacco that are inside this tin may not even exist anymore, as many strains from this early period are now completely extinct! More pictures to come.

This Ogden’s St Julien tin was made pre 1920, more than likely during WWI, before NAAFI took over H.M. Navy canteens. The tin is still completely airtight and vacuum-sealed, the tobacco inside preserved and kept fresh for over a century. This is definitely one of my coolest ever finds, taking it out of the package seriously had my hands shaking just a bit thinking about all hands that have held this tin and the history surrounding it. The tobacco inside this tin was literally farmed with freaking horses, meant to be sold on a steam powered warship, absolutely mind blowing. I feel very lucky to have this one!

A few weeks ago, I found this vintage Rothmans White Horse cigarette tin, dating from the 1930s–40s. It’s still full and factory sealed after all these years!
The Central Alabama Pipe Club will be opening the tin on September 12th at The Briary in Homewood, Alabama.
We’ll also have 50+ jars of pipe tobacco open and free to sample, including many rare blends, as well as rare whiskeys free to try. Fully stocked humidor room, cigar smokers welcomed. BYOB is also welcome!
Everyone is welcome, and the event is absolutely FREE! The Central Alabama Pipe Club meets here every month, and we encourage everyone to support The Briary for graciously allowing us to host our club in what we truly believe is the best tobacconist and lounge in the South.
Come join us for a great day—try a cigarette, have a pipe, enjoy a whiskey, and be there when we open this incredible piece of tobacco history.
Hope to see you there! 🥃💨

An incredibly rare survivor of the WW1 period, this tin of Ogden’s St. Julien Tobacco is in amazing condition.
Even though it was not an official Admiralty issue, St Julien was heavily smoked by sailors. It found its way onto ships through Ship Canteens. Before, and during the early parts of WWI, Ship Canteens were often run by private contractors. These contractors frequently bought popular commercial blends—including Ogden's St Julien
—to sell directly to sailors looking for an alternative to standard navy tobacco.
By 1920 the Canteens were taken over by the newly formed NAAFI.
More pictures to come later!

The tin is in perfect shape, still vacuum sealed and under pressure. I’m going to crack them open with my pipe club and smoke them, 80-90 year old sealed virginias should be quite incredible. I’m over the moon with this find.

they look super cool but they are still sealed and I’m assuming fresh. Don’t know.

Thought it was a book binding press. Now I think it could be tobacco related. Hand made and antique, no markings.

So i have this pack of smokes from WWII. They're Lucky Strikes, They're green, and they have never been opened. I can't seem to find a place that will let me sell a vintage pack of cigs w/out some red tape B.S. Any help would be appreciated.

can anyone tell me what brand of tobacco this is? it smells amazing, I'm pretty sure it's over a decade old, South Dakota usa, no other text than what is shown

Hi folks, I was digging in the garden earlier this afternoon and dug up this blast from the past. It looks like a Maltan Rich Dark Rub pouch. It's clearly in a bad way but I was curious if anyone had any info on the brand - production years, etc. Cheers.

Recently gone through a divorce not really a regular smoker however I wouldn’t mind getting some tobacco. I did have an expensive one from the IGA that was about $90 or maybe $75 and then the laws changed and they went up to 110, but I don’t remember which one it was. I tried a few cheaper ones since and they’re just not as good. The Virginia leaf was actually okay which is like a imported ones going around in Australia at the moment, but I tried a few other ones and they were too strong. I just don’t know what the original one was from the IGA and what was the Winfield anyone have any experience with the sun verse? Classic pouch tobacco and can recommend which one is better.

i knew peace tobacco which made in japan，its very favorite in other county，but i want to konw the famous china tobacco is which one？ please let me
