Hello all,
I just received the results of my latest T.A.D. attack, see below, and noticed that the tin for Peterson's Irish Flake has changed. It is now the same size and shape tin as Univeristy Flake. I know that it will not affect the tobacco but I like the old tin better.
2 Peterson: Irish Flake

1 Dunhill: Deluxe Navy Rolls

1 G.L. Pease: Caravan

1 Balkan Sasieni

I did like the old elongated tin from the Irish Flake. Good thing that my favored brown flake from Germain still has it.

The only one of those I haven't tried yet is G.L. Pease Caravan.
As to the new tin on Irish Flake, it is probably for cost savings. It costs less to have one size rectangular tin than two.

The last order of University Flake I received a month or two ago had changed from the square tin to the rectangular one.
