Several kinds of tobacco come in tins. VELVET tobacco is put up in tins. But that doesn't make it like other kinds. -i The finest selected leaf from Kentucky's richest Burley fields is only the beginning of VELVET. Then a full two years' ageing in wooden hogsheads a matter of large storage and investment expense. Then a careful manufacturing method employing the widest experience of life -long tobacco men. What goes into the tin governs the pipe satisfaction that comes out of it.
