    RB plug

    Given Revor is ONLY sold in the UK I think that is pretty safe.

    RB plug

    We notify our customers of blends that are being discontinued. Our customers are our distributors for export and retail shops for the UK. How they pass that information onto their retailers and how retailers pass that information on to consumers is outside our control. Discontinuing a blend is...

    RB plug

    Blends are usually discontinued because they do not sell in large enough quantities. Nothing to do with trying to produce more for one country over another. Leaf supply is leaf supply - looked at as a whole on orders for the whole world. Leaf supply depends on factors such as wars in countries...

    GH Rum Flake

    Blends are usually discontinued because they do not sell in big enough quantities to make it worthwhile producing them. Or on the odd occasion when a certain leaf variety can no longer be sourced.

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    Cabbies has always been Cabbies Roll Cut Mixture to give it, its full name - it is exactly the same in the tins as in the bags. Just due to artwork layout on tins versus bags its termed slightly different - says Roll Cut underneath Callies Mixture on the tins. We are re-designing some of the...

    Chewable Plugs?

    Twists were originally 'chewing tobacco'. We have only fairy recently had to change this description due to regulations of what is and isn't allowed. We used to sell a lot of twist to minors to chew when they were down the mines and could not smoke and it kept the dust out of their mouths.

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    As already stated the more recent Dark Birds Eye is Kendal Dark. It is the same product labelled differently. Absolutely no difference in the product. This just shows how subjective tobacco is and how people's perceptions can be based on different things.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Palace Gate was discontinued quite a while ago.

    Rouseco Buoy Gold

    It is also a completely different cut - much much thinner ribbons. In the USA there is little difference between what is sold as RYO and what is pipe tobacco.

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    If you search then forums you will see I stated this ages ago. SmokingPipes may have old stock they are still selling out. I believe they took the last of Kendal Kentucky maybe 2 years ago when it was discontinued. Dark Bird's Eye used to have stalky birds eye bits in it, hence the name. This...

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    Cryptic? How exactly? I have stated exactly what we have done and why. Hardly bizarre behaviour. Every country had different interpretations as to the rules and regulations and the UK has different rules to the EU in some cases. What we can label on way for one country, we cannot necessarily do...

    Is Gawith Dark Plug Flavored?

    The UK government came down hard many years ago on what thickness pipe tobacco could be. So we had to change. Shag cut in the UK is not the same as hand rolling. However for the American market we continued to produce a finer cut. This would be illegal to sell in the UK as pipe tobacco. We...

    Tasting Notes From Scotland: IRN BRU

    Some great tobacconists in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    RYO is hand rolling tobacco - taxed completely differently in the UK and the UK government sets the cut of the tobacco. RYO or hand rolling tobacco is much finer than shag tobacco. Shag is a type of pipe tobacco, it can be not as coarse as your usual mixtures but is a ribbon cut pipe tobacco...

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    But again certainly in the UK and Europe, RYO is different from shag. Of course people hand roll and smoke shag tobaccos and sometimes pipe tobaccos, but legally and for tax reasons shag is different from RYO.

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Kendal dark (which is a shag cut) is the same as Dark Birds Eye and Kendal Kentucky (latter discontinued).

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Just to clarify, there is a usual shag range - this is your Kendal Gold, Dark, Mixed. This is what is termed a shag cut for the UK and most of the world. HOWEVER for America, shag cut is more the norm and we produce most of our blends as a shag cut just for America. We do not do this for...
