Ran across something on social media that said Rattray's will be doing the blending for Peterson now and will be changing the names of the blends. Anyone know for certain if this is true?

I was also apprehensive about believing it because well a it was on the internet lol and b I'm pretty sure I remember Peterson just changing from K&K to Mac Baren a year or two ago.
So it's more than likely that Peterson is still using Mac Baren for their blending and Rattray's is having K&K make similar blends to Peterson's line with different names?
I dont understand why a tobacco production company doesn't have the equipment to make a certain type of tobacco. Seems like a hole in the business model.
So to clarify, Mac Baren is still making Peterson's blends and they'll continue to be produced in their regular tins under their regular names.
This is just K&K using the recipes and expanding their line of Rattray's blends by incorporating the blends they used to make for Peterson into it.
Correct?

Correct?
The question I've yet to see answered is: how do the Rattray and current Peterson versions differ? I like both Irish Whiskey and Irish Flake, and would love to start buying the best incarnation out there. Anybody tried Stirling Flake next to Irish Flake??

The flakes are made by STG/Orlik.
Per Georg Jensen of Mac Baren Tobacco has confirmed that MB do not make the flakes,

That seems to be correct.
I wish Rattray would offer an Stirling Plug version,
that'd be cool.
yeah,
I think it's out of production, sadly.
I never got to try it!
:crying:
The suspected Uni Flake version still seems to be available, probably only remaining stock I'd suspect and after its all sold out it'll be no more too, shame they never tried to market that stuff over here...
