I don't have any idea if that matters but maybe it does?
It's a mixed bag. Seems like even today some have the humidification pack and some don't. I got a couple aged boxes of 858 from a friend. One box was natural and no pack the other was maduro with the pack. I bought a box of Short Story natural from a local BM store and it had the pack. I bought a box of 858 maduro from a different BM and no humidity pack. A box of Rothschid maduro from online store, no pack. A box of Hemingway signature natural from another online store, no pack. I'm not seeing the pattern.
