Are there any good links or knowledgeable members who know how to determine the actual production dates for the older Balkan Sobranie tobaccos? (white and black)
Good catch,I was going to say 1979 because of the grams, but Guss indicates early 1980's for a coin twist top.
That's a very good point.MLC-
Doesn't the paper insert on your tin date this to the 70's??
I thought the "Sobranie Limited" was a determining factor, according to Loring?
Or have we determined Loring's work to be in error?.........
Confusing stuff fer sure!!....... 8O
stocks of earlier tins (and inserts) would have surely continued to be used until they were depleted and wholly replaced with the updated design...
AMEN Brother!!...... ::one more reason why among many I greatly prefer the cutter-top tins!
Easier to accurately date as well as being so utterly romantic and much more fun to open!
