If any of you want to chance shipping me a tin in Kenya, I wouldn't cry about it. ;)
 
Other than its being an old British coin and sounding good, I wonder if there was any particular reason to call it 'sixpence'? In any event, 2 tins ordered. . . .

It is introduced in the Old London series so maybe keeping with the theme. Just a guess.

That's all I could come up with. I was just curious if there was more to it
 
Historically, Sixpence was the excise or duty (drawback) on various types of 1 lb tobacco. Shag, roll, short cut, and carrot. Apparently from the time of Magna Carta. Google has plenty to say about it. But I suspect that I am missing some works by a known author that spell it out in a manner more suited to the reading chair.

Thanks, my bro' !

I prefer tobacco and liquor seperately......tongue bite?
 
I ordered a tin this morning and I'm really jazzed to try this one.

 
I did indeed and received it this past Tuesday. I won't get to try it until tomorrow night or over the weekend as it stands now.
