Tinned Tobacco dating to the 1970s & 1980s
Written by John C. Loring
Contributed by Yang Forcióri
(Key to Tin Type: CT = coin twist; PT = pop top; KL = knife lid; LT= lever top; ST= canister type)
(Please also note that the 'date' "L70s" for Dunhill encompasses the 1980 and 1981, the last years before it farmed out its tobacco blending to Murray; similarly with regard to Rattray's the date "70s" indicates store blended, while "70s/80s" indicated McConnell blended).
