    Questions for Leonardw

    I still find it difficult to grasp that the whole of sutliff brand/factory wasn’t profitable. Similar to C&D strategy in releasing limited releases in huge quantities and still selling pretty fast, I think a re-haul to sutliff strategy/vision with their sourcing of tobacco’s and market placement...

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    Well… isn’t that unfortunate. I actually thought Bengal slices was one of the better blends available out of his portfolio, sales wise. Seems like it isn’t. A surprise similar to Mac baren’s HH series.

    If anyone has any idea or comments from Russ, please share them. I am sure he used to be in this forum a while back, so I do hope he comes once again and gives us any insight on the future of his brands/blends.

    All that, then to close 2 huge factories, discontinuing nearly 99% of their portfolio, and leaving blenders wandering in the mist. Look at KBV and his statement on sutliff closure...nobody knows whats happening. Yeah, let STG close all the factories and one day to 'save some of these blends'...

    Yeah, indeed a shit show. It is actually unfathomable how much we are losing. I think STG are trying to integrate us to the masses were each person is satisfied with just smoking either creme brulee or captain black. My advice to Leonard is just to pretend you lost your password, and never come...

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    So if Hearth & Home, John cotton, Bengal slices, and War horse are all discontinued, then it means that no other brands made by Sutliff or Mac Baren are safe. That sums up the fact that SPC, Savinelli, 90% of Mac Baren and many smaller house blenders / brands such as mixture 79 are all, soon to...

    Falcon Corncob Bowls Enquiry.

    Will ask him, but I hoped someone who can turn a couple of bowls for me as a commission.

    Falcon Corncob Bowls Enquiry.

    Hello everyone, I have been searching for falcon corncob bowls either estate or any pipe makers to turn me one, but yet to succeed. If anyone could lead me to anyone who is willing to turn a couple of corncobs to fit a falcon stem, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    Hey, some little fun won’t harm anybody, except when the fun of clenching a pipe turns into a horrid nightmare.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    If you zoom in the picture, you can see the blemish is not even on the side of the crack. And I didn’t bite the stem. I do let it hang in my moral teeth and usually on top of my gums, like my other pipes. I will work something out soon for sure.

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    On a smaller note, the marks on the bottom of the bit is actually some unprofessional work I done on the bit ONLY with wet sandpaper, and I guess some scratches ended on the stem itself, so it wasn't from rough handling a 15 grams pipe. The button was too sharp and circular and was irritating my...

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    I did contact Tom via email, his reply or one of his associates was that " The "seller" will take care of you" even though I explained my situation in detail and provided the images, plus informing them that I came to them specifically because the seller wouldn't corporate in replacement...

    Bite Marks — Or a defect?

    I respect Tom eltang, and just more confused how both his and the seller assessment is a “bite trough” not realizing the ridiculous circumstance of it happening in just 2 days, while also offering half compensation for repair…as long as I pay a good 100$+ to ship it back or else “ there isn’t...
