Like many I just received my shipment of Escudo but noticed the label looked a little bit different than the ones I already had. Can anybody tell me about any differences besides the new label (Scandinavian Tobacco Group)?

Thanks Cortez. From what I can tell my A&CP tins are probably from 2005, after they had already been sold to STG. Maybe it was already being made by STG by this time and they were still just using the A&CP labels? Maybe they had enough of the A&CP stuff that they continued to tin it when they started using the new STG labels? I feel more confused. I still can't seems to find any info on if the recipe changed. All the reviews say the Copes was better than the A&CP's which was better than the STG. Could it be that they were doing something different to the blend or is it just the age/name?
