Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1960s & Earlier

<translate></translate>
Written by John C. Loring

(blended in England unless otherwise noted)
(Key to Tin Type: CT = coin twist; RUB = has an exposed, probably deteriorated, rubber stopper; PT = pop top; KL = knife lid; LT= lever top; ST= canister type. KL tins are further described as "EX" meaning the inner top is puffed out & I suspect it more then likely that the tobacco will be sound upon opening, or "OK" meaning the inner top is not puffed out and my best guess is that the tobacco will have to be rehydrated; or "Bd" meaning that I have serious reservations about whether the tobacco can be successfully rehydrated.)
