Ashton Type 1 in a 50g tin – 1980s era & Made in England by Robert McConnell

This is the original Robert McConnell’s era Ashton Type 1 that was produced at the McConnell’s factory in England in the 1980’s prior to Orlik in Denmark taking over in 1990 after McConnell’s shut down. The top label has a scrape, so a small deduction in price is offered. Per tobaccoreviews.com: “A blend of Virginia, Maryland, burley and flavoured Carolina with a touch of Turkish and latakia to make a classic British mixture. It is the ideal tobacco for the passioned pipe smoker.”
