Thought I might give this thread a bump with addition of a Sub Rosa cigarette pack. Sub Rosa cigarettes were produced by M. S. Pacholder in Baltimore, MD. This pack has an 1883 tax stamp which would be used from 1883 to 1893. There is no overstamp to help narrow dating although the slide & shell packs became common in 1887 (replacing paper packs).
The outer shell is miscut so I used photoshop to, in part, fix the miscut in order to see what the pack was meant to look like. Another cigarette manufacturer, H. Mandelbaum from NY, would issue N508 cards similar to Sub Rosa but with the gold advertising box blank and instead placing their advertising on the card back. Here is link to an old auction of 3 such cards.
