[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 13063, member: 10"] Not much more help than I was with Dunhill but its a start... Look above the red 'Escudo' on the lid... If it says Copes jump up and down you hit gold...unsure when the manufactorer changed but it was before I was born.. Gallaher made the blend from then up until mid ninties when it was discontinued for a few years.. (some pics of Gallahers tins, They still said Copes on em,Didn't know that until I got curious.. [url=http://www.finepipes.com/Tobacco.htm]http://www.finepipes.com/Tobacco.htm[/url] Notice the tin from the 60's gives an addy on the bottom while the one from the 80's just said made in the united kingdom ) A&C Peterson took up the blend in the late 90's 96,97,98 If it has 'ACP' in a seal looking deal its the 'Newer' manufactorer..theres three 'stages' of the newer tins The oldest says Made in the Kingdom of Denmark on the lid and on the sticker on the back.. The middle production (when it was switched to Germany) has Made in the Kingdom of Denmark on the lid, but Made in the EU on the back sticker.. The very newest will have Made in the EU on the lid and the sticker. Hope that helps in some small way. [/QUOTE]
