Description: This vintage Winchester Cigarettes pack was produced by the Imperial Tobacco Company of Canada and is a fine example of mid-20th century tobacco design.

The text on the back emphasizes the quality of the tobacco blend (Virginia, Burley, Turkish), a marketing style typical of the period.
