I'm always complaining that there aren't enough creative people or design resources here, so when I stumble upon an aesthetically pleasing gem, I'm beyond thrilled. After spending some quality time at this place in Georgetown for a fantastic happy hour, we wandered into Georgetown Tobacco just down the street. I immediately made for the back of the room to smell all the different jars of tobacco flavors. In most stores, the tobacco is kept in aluminum tins with tape labels--not much creativity. Not so at Georgetown Tobacco! They had the most lovely, vintage-y tobacco labels. They reminded me of those old Absinthe ads that college students plaster all over their dorm rooms (but a bit more original, obviously). I asked the sales guy where they came from, and he said some previous employee had drawn them. Incredible! Wouldn't that be a fun bonus to working in a tobacco shop. Anywho, I thought it would make for a nice blog post, especially since many of my posts thus far have been on larger projects.
What do you think of the labels? What feelings or memories come to mind when you look at these?
