Velvet Pipe & Cigarette Tobacco Pocket Tin — Liggett & Myers
A wonderfully nostalgic piece of American tobacco history — a vintage Velvet Pipe & Cigarette Tobacco pocket tin by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Co. Bold red lithography, the iconic Velvet shield crest, and the original tax stamp still intact make this a standout find for any advertising tin or smoking memorabilia collector.
The front reads "Made from the Finest Kentucky Burley Leaf Tobacco, Ripened in Nature's Sunshine and Cured in Nature's Way — Mild & Mellow." The side panel adds: "The Smoothest Smoking Tobacco is Kentucky's Best Burley Age-Mellowed Two Years into Velvet." Pure Americana.
