This is an interesting piece of tobaciana – a Sales sheet for Robert McConnell tobaccos of London England. It looks like it came from G. Hiltebrandt of Montreal – evidently a tobacconist in Montreal. It is marked with prices and blend descriptions. The brochure includes tobaccos that were tinned – all of which I recognize. It also includes blending tobaccos and cigarette tobaccos. The prices are written in and certain blends highlighted by a previous reader. I thought I would pass it on as I find it interesting.




Pretty neat ! McConnell’s makes some fine tobacco.
McConnell’s Scottish Flake is one of my all time favorite tobaccos.

Is that Stringbean you have as your picture there? I grew up in the same place he did in Kentucky. His relatives still live there and there is a Stringbean Bluegrass Festival every Summer. Such a tragedy what happened to him.
