Christmas Gift & Christmas Craft - Tobacco Pouch

Need to replace that worn out tobacco pouch? Try something totally unusual by using a pipe tobacco pouch design from the 1800s. Many nineteenth century magazines  devoted pages to making fashion accessories and gifts for the refined Victorian gentleman – slippers, smoking caps, braces, and even tobacco pouches. We give two engravings of this mid-nineteenth century design -- one showing the pouch closed, and the other showing it open.

From "Peterson's Magazine" December 1858.

If you know someone who rolls their own cigarettes or smokes a pipe, this silk-lined tobacco pouch would make an ideal Christmas gift for a father, brother, or husband: and it is easily made. For a Civil War re-enactor or Victorian enthusiast, such a personalized and handmade gift would be greatly cherished. This unique design leather tobacco pouch can keep rolling tobacco, rolling papers, and cigarette filters, all in one place.
