From the Personal Reserve Series brochure:
"ENGLISH WOODS FINE-CUT. The traditional medium Balkan mixture is presented here in its top form. Sweet, zesty lemon and orange-red Virginias are blended with rich Cyprian Latakia and the finest Greek Basma leaf, then aged to develop this naturally fragrant, complex, yet harmonious fine-cut Oriental mixture. An invigorating tobacco, both satisfying and refreshing."
"Manufactured by
McClelland Tobacco Company
Kansas City, Missouri
U.S.A."

Tin was very well kept, with some slight discoloration on the underside. Although it still feels pliable, the PLASTIC LID HAS CRACKED. Minimal shelf wear with just a few light mars on the label, and rub at the contact points. A few teeny tiny little bulge-dings on the underside ... no idea.
LID AND BOTTOM ARE BULGING OUT FROM BEAUTIFUL AGE EXPANSION!
This has always been maintained in a dry, temperature controlled home, but the exterior has been exposed to pipe tobacco smoke.
