When I started smoking my pipes again about 5 months ago, one of the first tobaccos I picked up was Dunhill Early Morning Pipe. When I placed an order earlier this week to order some Presbyterian, I picked up a couple of more tins. The label is different. The tin on the left is the older one. Notice that not only has the wording on the label changed, but it is larger as well.  The back of the tins have different labeling too. Older on the left, newer on the right.  If the Dunhill dating system I read about is true, the tin on the left is from 2012, the tin on the right from 2017. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and what the reason might be. |

Yeah I think the tin and label changed sometime in 2016. I've heard it was to get inline with new EU regulations. They needed more room to put to the warning and "A Mellow Flavored" probably had to go. IMO the new tins look cheap and the labels are ugly and ill fitted. I bought a few sleeves of the "old" tins this past winter so they're still around in shops. Any change in packaging will be worth more in time.  |

I have a Peterson Old Dublin tin with a similar change.

Well spotted, william. I'm not sure I would have noticed. |

A tin I bought i September 2016, said "Made in Denmark"; some months later, it was "Made in EU/Denmark" and today, it's just "Made in EU". Luckily you don't have the large idiot labels, the EU nannies have foisted upon us defenseless Europeans.  |

Luckily you don't have the large idiot labels, the EU nannies have foisted upon us defenseless Europeans. --Apparently the Presbyterian I ordered has "the large idiot labels." I have never seen this dire warning on any other tin of tobacco I have bought (although my experience is limited.) Is this the label you are referring to?  |

Although that's a mild warning compared to some... Smoking kills Smoking causes cancer Smoking makes your arse fall off It's getting crazy. (the last one I made up) |

Yea, the pouches have photos like those on them here in the uk I have never seen any smoker that has ever had issues anywhere as severe in them pictures, about the worst I have seen was when I met Sonny Barger....he has a tracheotomy. The worst internally was my dad, he smoked three packs of non filtered pall malls from at least the early fifties until 1990...even then, alcohol was what did his liver in. Alcohol has a far more detrimental impact on society than smoking ever has. Sure smoking can be the root of pretty severe damage, but genetics I think plays a far larger role...I knew a guy that had lung cancer in his forties that never smoked, and was never really ever around cigarette smoke, I would imagine that someone like that would be on a fast track to health issues had he smoked...either way, it would have been his choice. |

I agree...especially about the detrimental affects of alcohol. It can ruin lives in worse ways than smoking can (imo).
I worked with chemicals and x-rays for years, so if I get cancer it'll most likely be from that, so I might as well enjoy myself until then.
I could quit everything and still get cancer.

The idiot labels we have here are larger; cover half of the front and the warnings are much more explicit. Legend Lover gave some examples. Luckily, we do not have the utterly tasteless photos of gangrened toes, foetusses in ashtrays, coffins with dead children and crying parents, that we have on the cigarette packs ...yet. I look forward to the day when we get photos on the liquor bottles of deceased livers in vibrant colours. |

Indeed, and the little EU nannies have changed the name of Rattray's 'Exotic Orange' to 'Exotic Passion' and have removed the colour of the fruits on the tin. Maybe some child will think that the tin really contains shredded oranges and eat all 100 grs. But then again... |
