Much appreciated, Pat! Thanks for the heads-up. It's definitely a sad time when companies close their doors. Now I have to think if there are blends I need to stock up on.
Another excellent video, Pat! The recent codger blends video was great. Thanks for the Secret Santa info. The sad news is really sad. Wonder why STG is not going to leave the Sutliff plant intact, at least for awhile, to see how it goes? Sutliff has a bunch of good bulk blends. MacBaren's blends would be easy for STG to do but Sutliff's blends are another story. HPpy puff8ng !!!
Great video! The blends I worry about are the L.J Peretti, and Watch City Cigars blends. They both use tobacco from Sutliff, and sell some of my go-to every day blends
Thanks for the visit and information. Hopefully they won’t take away too many of the blends people love. Thanks for the secret Santa info. I will go check him out. Have a great week Pat!
Good Morning 😊 Nice Fire 🔥 Beautiful Pipe 😍 Good Blend 😋 Awesome Shout Outs 📣 Thanks For The Links 🔗 LOL , Ducks in a Basket , Eggs in a Row 🤣🤣 I Heard The Sad News 😢 Its Going To Be Difficult To Enjoy Your Favorite Blends 😮 Agree , Stock Pile While You Can 👍🏼Captain Black is Good 👏🏼 Thanks For The Chat and Happy Piping Moments 🌬💨💨 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
Hey Pat, it is sad that both mac baren and Sutliff factories will be moving to. Denmark. Wonder what that'll do to the CORP pipe show where sutliff was hwsponsor of that show. We shall see what blends will cease production hopefuly the HH line will continue. Only time will tell. Enjoy your Monday. Cheers
The problem is when they move them overseas they drown them in vinegar because they cant use PG apparently. It's ruined a lot of blends like Sir Walter.
Awesome medico lovat. I'm mainly worried about the HH line decreasing in quality. Not really a fan of any Sutliff labelled blends I've tried, including several of the matches. SPC is great though. Ive seen a few smaller blenders that get their blending tobacco from sutliff say they will adapt. Theyve all been through it before with McClelland.
Hate to see sutliff close im 30 minutes away only toured it once. Shame American companies selling out. Not to mention when I was in the tour i seen tubes labeled lj peretti so all the us blenders/tobacconists are gonna take a hit too On a better note awesome fire 🔥 place.
I'll not be pleased to lose capstan gold and blue or 4th generation 1931 flake or hh pure Virginia or 7 seas regular or 507c Virginia flake. Those are all favorites. With 507c being one of my staples. I dont talk about it much but some years I smoke it daily in the warm season. The others are the occasional tin. And the 7 seas regular is my second favorite aro.
Well, if the desk riding politicians get their way all tobacco products could go away by 2030. To hedge against this, I've begun operation "Cellar Deep and Wide". Things are looking good in the reserves. However, it's a grim reality on the fronts. Numerous bowls are lost through a relentless grind of attrition daily. Do what you can fellow pipers. God speed!

Yes sir.
Enjoyed the chat. Hopeful London Burley will still be around.
🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing the info on those two companies. Sad just sad.
Yeeeep. 😭
Thanks much for the secret Santa mention. St. Bruno is my favorite tobacco and I definitely worry about that one going away.
Grab it while you can. Hope they don’t change or take it away,
@ I plan on it

Who knows. Maybe to just stay solvent….🤷🏻♂️
Man Pat, if London burley discontinue or changes, I’m gonna be extremely sad.
Good to see as always.
Take care ☺️
That makes two of us buddy. Good to hear from you!
Great video!
The blends I worry about are the L.J Peretti, and Watch City Cigars blends. They both use tobacco from Sutliff, and sell some of my go-to every day blends
That’s true. Many us small biz source from Sutliff.
Yep St Bruno is Sutliff/MacBaren. Going to need to buy some up just in case!
I thought so.
Hey buddy, thanks for the shout-out! Much appreciated. Cool little pipe community on UA-cam, who would of thunk? Again, thanks!
Yep we’re an odd bunch but we try to stick together haha. Love your channel man. Keep those vids coming codger! 🫡😇
Thanks for the visit and information. Hopefully they won’t take away too many of the blends people love. Thanks for the secret Santa info. I will go check him out. Have a great week Pat!

Yep stock up while ya can

They aren’t moving from what I understand STG is shutting them down. 😢
The problem is when they move them overseas they drown them in vinegar because they cant use PG apparently. It's ruined a lot of blends like Sir Walter.
Yeah so sad to see Walt die like that.
That vinegar Sir Walter Raleigh is crap. Garbage.
That stinks about Sutliff! I really enjoyed the tin of EGR I had a couple years ago. I’d better get a couple more…
Get it while you can

Ive seen a few smaller blenders that get their blending tobacco from sutliff say they will adapt. Theyve all been through it before with McClelland.
Yep. I couldn’t imagine that changing but then again it may.
I have lbs of the HH blends that I like. I’m more concerned with finding replacements for my blending components, which are all Sutliff.
Yeah I wonder if already established vendors will still be able to get blending components but it may be more scarce for the consumer
Def sad news, and we will lose some blends, and others will change. Stock up on favs is all we can do.
Yep all we can do.
@PaladinPiper guessing tobaccopipes and cupajoes sites will go away too at some point since Sutliff owned and ran them.

I wish Capt Black still made their tinned tobaccos & Grape, of course. lol. 👍😃☀️🌵
Yeah I do worry they will stop the gold, copper and cherry….
Where do you find the copper?
Been stocking up when and where i can... Likely i will have missed out on some good ones but what can you do.
Yep just do the best ya can
Yeah, still not sure to think about this STG/Mac Baren/Sutliff stuff… would be a shame to lose some of those blends
Yeah I hate thinking about it
I just stocked up on Capstan. Sad news. It is only going to get worse
Yep that was another one I forgot to mention!!!!
We'll that sucks. I hope they don't get rid of creme Brulee and vanilla custard, those are definitely in my list.
🙏🏼
I'll not be pleased to lose capstan gold and blue or 4th generation 1931 flake or hh pure Virginia or 7 seas regular or 507c Virginia flake. Those are all favorites.

Yeah 1931 I thought was Kopp but you’re right. Dang it.
We might lose some good blends, but maybe there's a chance they might introduce some good new ones as well. I'm trying to be positive. Lol
🤞
Any blends that get discontinued is definitely not good for the pipe smokers
Yep
STG ruined Sir Walter so I guess they’ll ruin MacBarren/Sutliff blends as well! Good grief!
Yep sad times.
