Prince Albert Really Gone?

[Alex.Jr]

I’ve just read on another website that PA is being discontinued, is this really true?

Not my favorite tobacco but I always have some around together with CH for those days when you just want a simple smoke. It’s not everyday you eat escargot after all.

I’ve come across some threads from 2018 saying the same but obviously it remained available up until now.

Now it popped up again, any info about that? Really sad if this is true....

I think this whole thing is a misconception. I believe sites like Milan and Pipes&Cigars are not going to be offering PA because it's just not a big seller for them. Otherwise it will continue to be produced and other sites and local B&Ms will still sell PA.

Again? Isn't this like the third time?

 

[Alex.Jr]

This is what’s been posted around...

 

[Alex.Jr]

Again? Isn't this like the third time?

Yeah I know right... there’s another recent thread here with some comments about that also. I think it’s the PA review thread...

But I’d like to know if it is really officially confirmed... so weird...

I don't smoke PA, but I hope it's not true.

If that is a lie, then I propose a boycott of the retailer. ?

If you want an answer, contact the manufacturer. Tobacconists get it wrong from time to time.

I’ll check their website and try to do that.

I really hope they are wrong.

Please report back what you find.

May not want to start the conversation off with “Do you have Prince Albert in a...”

 

[Alex.Jr]

Website really built for you to give up when trying to contact them.

Just for a simple e-mail a US phone number, address and zip code required. I’m not in the states. That’s great.

Prince Albert in both pouch and tin is sold out at all the big name distributors as of today. A couple of smaller sites have it.

If this is a ploy to sell off current stock, it's a good one; but it would be a sad day if the brand actually goes under.

Oh yeah man, that Prince is a really gone dude, dude. (This is late Beatnik speak.) If the brand is gone, you can bet the match blends are coming as a thundering herd.

 

[anantaandroscoggin]

Didn't they just recently add a few new blends to the Prince Albert line?

 

[mso489]

Maybe Prince Albert is about to be reissued by Laudisis or Peterson. Ah, the tobacco business. There is always Prince Andrew, the PC tub blend, which has been there all along.

I hear that there's going to be a match called Princess Alberta.

they get their information from distributors who get their information from salesmen. So what we know is someone somewhere has bad information we don't know who or what info is bogus. And as far as the manufacturer I've gotten more then a few bad pieces of info on issues like this. The internal structure of some companies is way more slack then one would think could happen in a functional company. Also it depends on how the company wants to let the news break. And there is no reason they have to tell anyone or everyone what's up, no laws against it. My bet is still discontinued. We shall see in a little bit. The thing is even if they don't make one more shred people will still find it for many years to come. Either at random stores or over priced by resellers.

which could be an attempt to safe a sinking ship.
