A nice surprise was finding another Christmas / New Year message for 1915 in the tin as well.

Nice find, but I think the "Lambert & Butler" cigarettes are wrong.

My tin has a packet of cigarettes and another of tobacco. Both looking like the yellow packet of cigarettes you have.

The tobacco saying "tobacco" instead of "cigarettes".
