Tobaccos No Longer Sold in the UK :(

[beerandbaccy]

After some desperate internet searching all the remaining stocks of some of my regular tobacco rotations have gone for good it seems. Apparently since Brexit the cost and time for tobaccos that are small sellers from EU countries, have become uneconomical, so have been discontinued. The ones I am now missing are Seven Seas (regular blend) from Denmark, (Itself a replacement for Captain Black) although all versions have been stopped, as well as Cellini Tobaccos from Italy.

Are there any others that anyone has noticed?
Does anyone have an inside track to finding these? (As far as I know no one ships these to the UK from an EU online store)

Sometimes pipe smoking can be heartbreaking: a favourite blend *poof!* gone without warning. In your case though, if Gawith & Hoggarth don't make it (or something really close), you don't need it. They put out a number of aromatic blends that should satisfy you, some being under the "American Blend", or some such, descriptor.

You can get your hands on all the Mahogany Flake and Revor your heart desires (and wallet allows), I feel your pain, but...I'm not overwhelmed by grief!

When shipping tobacco from the UK to Canada was allowed, I never had cause for complaint using mysmokingshop.co.uk , I suggest you drop them a line, see what they suggest.

I wish I had started exploring GH&Co tobaccos a long time ago. Lots of wonderful stuff -- not always to my taste, but definitely quality.

I haven't tried it yet, but I think "American Delite" is the blend @grimpeur has in mind: American Delite 50g - Gawith Hoggarth & Co. Pipe Tobacco - https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/gawith-hoggarth/american-delite-50g/product_id/6042

When you breakaway from an organization don't be surprised if they take an action that is detrimental to your interests. Unintended consequences, eh, what.

I pretty much always let this stuff slide, but I'm driven by curiosity, so here's a question: the guy asks about how to replace a favourite, lost blend. Why would you think to make it about politics? You're not being amusing, novel, or informative...what was your intention here?

I'm just glad you've come out from the shadows of lurking. Now show us your pipes!

Falcons. More stems and bowls then you could pointy a shaky stick at.
Nothing wrong with lurking! I like my pipes and tobaccos straight-up...once politics gets stirred in, it becomes tedious quickly. But I see the appeal: some need to vent.

Nothing wrong with lurking indeed! I just started noticing some veteran lurkers and know you guys probably have some very sweet pipes that have been for your eyes only and some of us want to ogle them too

I've been smoking pipes for over 40 years and disappearing tobacco blends seems just part of pipe smoking. It's been going on as long as I've smoked a pipe. Not that I like it, some fantastic blends are gone forever. Just seems part of pipe smoking.

Estervals Pipe House in Germany will ship those blends to you.
No guarantee that they'll get through customs 'Scott free' but there's a good chance that they will.

Some of the Mac Baren blends are no longer available since BREXIT. HH Old Dark Fired and Navy Flake being just two. A lot of the Rattray's disappeared but some have now returned.
