Offered is a pair of rare paper collectible treasures from Tuxedo Tobacco that feature two members of the 1914 "Miracle Braves" team: Richard Rudolph and Harry Gowdy. Rudolph is quoted as saying, "What creature comfort can compare with a pipe-smoke of mild, mellow tobacco! What tobacco can compare with Tuxedo in mildness and aroma!" Gowdy is quoted as stating, "The delightful mildness of Tuxedo won me the first time I smoked this excellent tobacco. It was such and agreeable relief from the strength and sting of other smoking tobacco."
