Its title makes a bold claim, calling the tobacco one of the finest for both chewing and smoking, a boast typical of nineteenth-century tobacco promotion. Pieces like this were often color lithographs printed in large runs and handed out or posted in shops, on store counters, and on tobacco packaging to win over buyers. Advertising of this kind shows the era's fondness for ornament and self-promotion, and it offers a useful look at how manufacturers sold their goods before modern brand design.
