Warrior Plug Discontinued?

Hello,

I've been reading the forum for about 18 months and I didn't want to post until I had something of worth to say, anyway this is for the attention of pipers in the U.K. I have noticed that mysmokingshop.co.uk and GQ Tobaccos have both removed warrior plug from there listings, not out of stock but removed all together, turmeaus.co.uk and thebackyshop.co.uk both still have it in stock. Now I could be wrong and I don't want to cause a buying panic but after what has happened to velvan, erinmore and Mick Mcquaid plugs I thought I would point out what I had noticed so others can stock up if they so wish. Also I don't know if anyone has mentioned this and if they have i'm sorry for repeating but mysmokingshop.co.uk and GQ Tobaccos both have recently got in some Samuel Gawith St James plug so if like me you like your plugs then I hope this info is of some use.

Fair enough, from what I read people seemed a little unsure of its future but not definite that it was being discontinued, I noticed a couple of weeks ago that it had been de listed at 2 places I buy from so I stocked up with as much as I could afford, at least 2 places still have some so if it's one you like this seems like the last chance to get some, I don't know how long Warrior has been around but it's a crying shame to see another pipe tobacco being discontinued, especially such a good one.

I have not tried condor plug or mixture yet but I do hope to in the future, I haven't tried any Lakeland flavour blends yet, sadly I also never got to try Velvan, Erinmore, Mick Mcquaid or yachtsman which I think all disappeared in the recent past, I have only been smoking a pipe for about 18 months and by the time I realised what wonderful things plugs can be all that was left was Warrior & Yachtsman and sadly they discontinued yachtsman before I had the necessary funds to buy. Luckily I have been able to try a good few of the ones available, I really like PPP, Warrior and Revor and I've also found anything that I like as a flake is even better as a plug, FVP, Kendal plug and St James plug I find are all better than the flake version, I don't know why exactly, I think preparing it to your own specification is a part of it but also the flavour & strength why being similar to the flake version just seem to be 'more' in all departments

I also tend to find the level of wetness with the Samuel Gawith plugs is much more to my liking with less drying time needed, now given the choice I will buy the plug version over the flake every time.
