Assistance dating a tin of Balkan Sobranie

[PipeDream Weaver]

Greetings Brothers and Sisters of the Briar!

Recently acquired a tin of Balkan Sobranie. Can you assist in helping me establish the tin date? I see what appears to be the date on the bottom of the tin: 1725R073. Country Squire folks stated it was probably packaged earlier this year or in 2024. Thank you for any help you can give me. Happy Holidays to you All

Is it one you recently bought from this years drops?
The 2025 esoterica that released show the 17 date code

Hi Brad. I had been monitoring P&C, Smoking Pipes and Country Squire for several weeks and FINALLY found it was in stock at Country Squire. Couldn't believe my eyes so i pounced on that and ordered 1 tin ( max i could per the website) My purchase was about a week ago. Hope that helps.

Ahh that’s easy then.
Write 12/25 on it and assume it’s from 2025.

Awesome! Thank you kindly!

I would recommend getting to know her family.
The Sobrani are a close knit people & love their family time.
Love them & she will love you in return... jus' sayin'....

Dream big, @PipeDream Weaver!
