    Peace out folks. I’ve long moved on to the task of preparing a giant batch of simply red for you vultures. I wish the OP no ill will and will only say that I will not be selling ounces and will not be lured into a public argument over the matter of an ounce of tobacco when samplers were offered...

    Ok see now that’s genius. I mean it! Packing tobacco in Tupperware so you can soften the blow from the ball and chain. Pure. Marketing. Gold.

    I must say I don’t think the OP is a whiner or a bad person at all. He had a gripe that he thought was a good one and in his defense it did come from his desire to try our blends. Questions like “if I order something can you send me a sample?” Or this is what I like, can you make a...

    We like what we like and there can and should be no accounting for that.

    I do not feel that a business getting into detail regarding any unpleasant dialogue with a customer on any public forum is necessary. The support on this forum proves that point.

    You could. Then you’d have a basic Black and Gold. Good by itself but you add a pinch of granular Perique and properly tweak the TS1 with just enough of a specific casing, you’ll have something else entirely.

    The crumble flakes are made with my recipes and my casings to my specs. It was a lot of fun working with Jonathan and Paul there over the years. Previously I would ship finished blends down for pressing and cutting but it got to be too much to do that. I’m sure some will say they are a Sutliff...

    Yikes. Pennsylvanians frighten even the most dyed in the wool Bostonians.

    McClelland is sorely missed. When an ingredient goes missing I always discontinue a blend...such as McClelland’s Oriental Cavendish which was a key player in our old “Justice Mixture”. we have used such houses of the past as Red Lion, House of Windsor and McClelland depending on what result we...

    Well we use a mix of different manufacturers. Sutliff being the largest supplier right now in the USA of course we use their stuff. We also use Stokkebye and most recently some bulk we had an importer bring in from the UK. we do use Sutliff blenders though but we absolutely do not simply...
