With almost everything these days being disposable and made from plastic I decided to find some old containers and make use of these for our entertainment. I love to 'tinker' and the idea of fixing something and keeping it going for just a little longer makes me smile. So to use some of these old examples of 'tin' cans in the aid of fun hopefully will bring a smile to your face, at least it'll bring a 'smilie' to your profile.
Happy travelling.

Analyst's Report
TARRY MATTER (always produced by burning tobacco): Wool wads absorb twice as much as paper wads.
NICOTINE: Wool wads allow through only half as much nicotine as paper wads or cigarettes without filters.
COOLNESS: Thermometric tests scientifically confirm the marked cooling effect experienced when smoking through a wool filter tip.

Abdulla & Company, Ltd.
The company was founded in London, England, in 1902, and were most famous for their eponymous cigarette brand, which they made in various blends (Egyptian, Virginian, and Turkish). In 1917, Abdulla moved their headquarters to 173 New Bond Street in Mayfair (formerly the location of the Fabergé shop, and currently home to Chanel), and opened a branch in the Netherlands in 1923. Around 1927, Abdulla & Company was purchased by a larger competitor, Godfrey Phillips, which kept the company name and brands going. In 1968, Godfrey Phillips U.K. was purchased by Philip Morris International.
