If it hasn’t been said, take a picture of the back of your tin and drop it into chatgpt. This is amazingly fast and accurate. I use it all the time.

The style of the tin looks to be from before 2017.

It'd have to be pre-2017 wouldn't it? That was the last year for Dunhill pipe tobacco.

No, I think they changed the tin and label in 2017. I think had to to with change in Euro regulations.

So they changed for a few months just before they stopped sales? You'd really have to had paid attention and I certainly wasn't!

My memory fails me I think the change in tin and label was in 2016. The small changes in the packaging is usually the most reliable way to date a tin. I think the change to Peterson was sometime in 2018.
