Anyone have any info on the 2 styles of pouch seen here, like when the change took place? The tobacco is good in either so it's really more of a curiosity than anything.
Carter Hall Packaging Info?

Not sure. Haven't been smoking pipes long enough to be of any help with this question, I started a few years ago and the only ones I have seen are the whiter packaging. Would guess the yellower one could be 80's or older perhaps? Really have no idea but would love to hear from the Carter Hall OG's
I just recently picked up three pouches of the older style in a RiteAid. The newer packaging can only be within the last five years. I have a tub of each type as well.
Im honestly not sure, as I have no idea how long grocery stores keep em on the shelves. I've only noticed the change in packaging in the last few years. The first new style pouch I got, scared me at first.
I am still trying to find any around my area with no luck
Last bit of info could find was the change took place around 2018. So the "old" stuff is probably 3-5 years. Still tastes and smokes the same.
I am really hoping this 1 sticks around. It stays in the van for my lunchtime smokes, and is my go to for breaking in a new pipe.
I am down to two tubs and have been smoking it sparingly hoping but I am losing hope
You have more than I do in reserve, but there are still a few stores up this way that have some in stock
I prefer the cut of it over the match and I think it is a little closer on taste the only advise is when you get it to let it breathe for a day or two then enjoy
I do that with CH, just leave the packet open in the van for 12-24 hours depnding on when I remember to close it back up
I can't find ammo, and today I found out my favorite pipe tobacco, Carter Hall, is off the shelves and is back ordered. The online dealers give you the option of "notify me when available" via email. I've heard that one before!
Whats next ? Straub beer vanishing from the shelves? I can't take much more!!

Sometimes I think the notify me when available on things with an indefinite backorder is there to calculate interest, and justify production. There is some kind of a bar set like, if 10k people are waiting it's worth the production costs to get it done. I could be wrong though....
Yep, within the last 3-5 years as the old pouches I had were from that time period.
