Classic Tobacco Tins
While you can always pick up a tobacco tin at a smoke shop or similar retail establishment, you may want to go with something that has a bit more character and history behind it. There are a few different courses to consider if you want to go with a classic tobacco tin for use around the house, allowing you to achieve a look that is anywhere between elegant and refined to fun and funky.
One option with classic tins is to go with something that is indicative of a specific time frame in history. You may want to go with a tin that is shaped somewhat like a pocket flask, and is constructed with a solid metal body encased in leather. A tin of this type can look quite refined, and is likely to blend in well in an uptown setting. At the same time, a tobacco tin of this design will attest to your good taste and desire for the finer things in life.
Alternatively, you can go with something that is fun and reminiscent of a bygone era, such as the Sixties. The tin can be in the form of one of the commercial tins used by many tobacco companies during that decade. You can go with the original labelling, or opt for a tin that was given an authentic psychedelic paint job that hearkens back to the colours and wild designs that made Carnaby Street such a watering hole for anyone who wanted to be considered “in” at the time.
Your tobacco tin can do more than simply serve a purpose. It can also be a piece of art that reflects something of your personality and personal tastes. Take some time to consider one of these classic approaches, and then look around for something that will keep your stash fresh while also providing some visual appeal.
