I'm not one to complain but I just received my Samuel Gawith order and I'm not impressed with how cheap their packaging has become, they switched to cheap printer labels and silver sardine tins with a wrapper only around the sealed edge. Regardless if the tobacco is still the same I'm never buying tinned stuff again.

Well, it's not because they are so busy exporting tons of tobacco that the tins had to suffer, so I guess they just cheaped out.

Right!
You'd think that being such an old blending house they would keep with tradition and offer quality stuff across the board.

No pride, they probably don’t even respect what they do. It’s just a way to make money.

If the tobacco is still the same quality why does the different packaging matter that much?

I know they are still trying to figure out how to keep the rectangle tins sealed properly. I believe they bought a lot from a bad supplier and are just trying to use it all. So this is the method they must’ve found that works.

A lot of people open their rectangle tins to find the tobacco all dried up. Reccomendation is to open them up and jar them immediately.

I personally don't give a hoot how my tobacco is delivered as long as it is fresh. Most of mine comes in a plastic one pound bag or a tub anyway. The bagged stuff gets jarred and the tubs get smoked straight from the container. They have enough propeline glycol, or whatever its called, to keep them fresh for the next century or so. Tinned tobacco dries out fast once opened so you need to jar it or smoke it fast. If you jar it the tin makes a lovely melodeous "clink" as it hits the bottom of the trash bin.
