That would be nice. I'm hoping to one day get my hands on some Elizabethan Mixture. When I was back home in Cleveland for Christmas this past year, I was in a shop that had a few tins of about 10 or so Dunhill blends, but no EM.

It has both lane and Orlik labels on the back

That would be nice although I just stockpiled for the long haul so in another sense I would be a bit pissed that I bought all those tins for nothing.

Obviously, someone has played with this tin. IMHO, I would say that this is an early Orlic tin, probably from 2004 or 2005, that someone has placed a Lane Label on!

I have hear of people placing Lane labels on Orlic Tins and passing them off as Murray Tins, in fact I've actually seen one that was tampered with. Usually, the Orlic Tins will have a larger round white label and the Murray Tins will have a smaller white rectangular label.

These came from a local tobacco shop .. Doubt very much that they were tampered with. I just wondered who made them. From what I've read here ... I'm assuming it was Murray since they all are painted and have big round stickers on bottom. Thanks for the help.

That rectangular sticker is not a lane sticker i do belive. The lane sticker is about half that size and says US Distributors Lane Limited Tucker Ga 30084. Im looking at a Murrys Royal Yacht tin and that same small lane sticker is on 965, Nightcap, Emp, Elizabethan, 3yr Matured Va, Standard Mixtures Medium and Mild and Light Flake and Mild Flake. Plus look at the tin botton that has a rounded edge for stacking the murry tins are flat I will try and post a picture of a murry tin.

Guess what. I bought Schwabs P&S's last tins a couple of days ago because you left it on another thread. All they had left was a sleeve of light flake(6 tins) 2 London Mixtures and two Royal Yachts,10 tins in all and I cleaned them out. They said some guy from new york who found out about it on the forum bought a bunch of Royal Yacht just before I made my order. If you guys hear of any other places give us a heads up. I am sort of looking for EMP mostly and would even consider a trade for a tin of one of the ones I got.

That is an incorrect assumption, as Murray Tins do not have large round labels. The large round label is the distinct label used by Orlic! All Murray Tins, without exception, have medium size rectangular labels. Also, most of the Orlic Tins produced in the first year or so of their production of Dunhill Blends all had the painted top half. They were probably using left over Murray Tins.

Although these photos are not of a Royal Yacht Tin, they are photo of a Murray Tin from 2002.
