[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 58485, member: 487"] That is actually quite fascinating. Very useful information should one come into possession of some older samples - the earliest I have represented in my cellar at the moment, jarred only, is from around 2002. Do you happen to know, or recall (or perhaps you have some examples in the cellar) when the Butera shift happened? That is, when did Germain begin putting the "... for Butera Pipe Company" on the label to replace "...for Esoterica Tobacciana"? If you might happen to know the year, that would be awsome. Here is a snapshot of two pre-Butera tins cellared in 1999 which I archived from S. Fallon's site a while back: [url=https://servimg.com/view/13268300/19][IMG]https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/13/26/83/00/1999_p10.jpg[/IMG][/url] And here is the current tin (copied and pasted from Rich's site since my camera battery is charging right now): [url=https://servimg.com/view/13268300/20][IMG]https://i.servimg.com/u/f86/13/26/83/00/esoter10.jpg[/IMG][/url] Any info., if you happen to know, would be welcome.
