The sheikh is dressed in traditional clothing and is waving a gun in the air as he rides a horse. Around the outer edge of the tin lid has a red border with gold circles and crosses. Inside of each cross reads "Ben Bey." "Ben Bey" is also written on the front and back sides. The left and right sides of the tin are marked with "It's A Pleasure."  The lid easily opens and closes. Underside of the lid shows the same scene that is on the top of the lid and reads "Ben Bey It's a Pleasure." There are holes in the back edge of the interior so that this tin could double as a humidor. This neat tin would make a great addition to any advertising or tobacco memorabilia collection!
