Vintage Amphora Extra Mild Cavendish Pipe Tobacco Tin – Bilingual Canadian Edition

A classic green Amphora tin from the famous Dutch tobacco company Douwe Egberts. This “Extra Mild Cavendish” variety features the iconic Amphora branding with the golden trophy emblem and “Gentle Smoke” seal.

What makes this example stand out for collectors is the pair of original bilingual paper labels applied on both sides reading “Tabac à Pipe / Pipe Tobacco” — produced specifically for the Canadian market. The lid still shows its period tax/batch stamp. These Amphora tins are highly sought after by tobacciana collectors for their bold graphics, historical packaging, and connection to the golden era of pipe smoking. A clean, vivid example with no rust and strong color — perfect for display or addition to a tobacco tin collection.
