Depends on the humidity and how stored..... If kept in a cool dry place they can last upwards of a week. If kept in your car or in a pocket you'll notice a taste change within 24 hours...... in most brands.
Soft packs last shorter than boxed.... as does the brandings.... some "premium brands" go bad faster than some of the cheaper low grade brands.
As for the OP, my guess is the marketing and sales department decided the changes were in order to get more sales. It has been my experience as a Winston smoker that RJR likes to fool around with the look of the pack, the paper, and the quality of tobacco and flavorings. It causes my Winstons to burn faster, taste nastier and leave a severe aftertaste as well as at times give off a scent where everyone around me swears I'm smoking pot, because of the smell.
I can sense when they have put cheaper tobacco in the cigs or changed the blending within the first few drags. It's so bad I am giving serious thought to changing brands to Dunhill. They never have changed, they always taste, burn and look the same. They are more expensive but I find I don't need to smoke as often.
