Thanks Ted. I think you are right. I have a bunch of Pelican tins bought over the last two years and they say they were made in Jersey, which suggests Germain. But then on Pipestud's site he had some Pelican for sale very recently and here is what he said:
"Butera's Pelican sealed two ounce tins. Pelican is the perfect Mixture, combining exact portions of the finest, most rare Cyprian Latakia, the spiciest, most zesty Turkish and Orientals, and the richest, most sweet sun grown Virginia whole leaf available today. Aged in cakes then fine cut to ribbon form. Pelican delivers multiple dimensions of sweet, mellow tastes, with a variety of contradicting rich and spicy room aromas. Originally produced by Germain and then McClelland's for a short period, this is the newer Peter Stokkebye version made sometime after 2008. I have 1 tin still available for $18.00"
Now, I am confused.
