MIke did you figure out what that spit tune looking stokers thing was? It was pretty cool looking but I had no idea what it was.

I don't have a clue what it is (its in the first picture under the two McClellands tins). Maybe packaging for some old blend that was out there. Hopefully one of our esteemed participants can shed light on it.

Did you look inside? It's probably full of a chewing blend. I have a catalog from them someplace around here. Keep thinking I would order some of those whole leaf cured tobacco leafs to chop up for the pipe.

If you go to their web site they have a sign up link. Then they send a catalog from time to time. No online ordering. Must be a business reason for that.
