    C&D Price Increases Coming Soon?

    Peck, your point is fair. I didn't intend for my comment to imply that there was this huge gulf between C&D and LDG, but the two companies have different objectives and different customers, and both could arrive at a decision like raising prices for two entirely different reasons. Thus I thought...

    C&D Price Increases Coming Soon?

    C&D isn't raising prices. The U.S. distributor for C&D, G.L. Pease, Castello, Two Friends, and Captain Earle'e, has enacted a Minimum Advertised Pricing policy (or Maximum Discount policy), which means that in some cases some retailers will be forced to raise their prices. This has nothing to do...

    October Tobacco Crawl with Greg L. Pease

    I adore Sixpence. I've been smoking it regularly since around the time it was released last year. The smell of a freshly opened tin is magnificent.

    Where is Gregory Pease?

    I can't speak to Greg's absence from column writing, but he's definitely not on hiatus. He's got something up his sleeve right now, in fact. That's probably about as much as I should or could say on the matter.

    Bourbon Bleu & Old Grove

    p.s. I bought ten tins of these each as soon as I could. I'll open up to two tins of both blends if someone wants a sample. I could probably make up five samples from each tin; meaning I'll send out up to ten samples of Bourbon Bleu and Old Grove for those that first ask. PM if interested.

    Bourbon Bleu & Old Grove

    Hello, All. I don't comment often on the forums. I post even less. Yet I wrote a review for Smokingpipes.com on these two new Cellar Series blends, a post of which I'm particularly happy and proud, and thus thought I might share it. This was fun to write because I'm a big fan of C&D and the...

    Bulk Chenet's Cake Group Buy

    I know that Harris has a bit of an allergy to Red VAs's and so I feel I ought to clarify here that there is in fact Red Virginia leaf in Chenet's Cake.

    5100 vs. Christmas Cheer vs. Red Ribbon

    Kepping my tobacco fresh

    johncieera, considering that blends can disappear from the market, either because demand trumps availability or simply because production of the blend ceases, compounded by the fact that tobacco, like most things in this world, is cheaper today than it will be tomorrow, there's a compelling...

    C&D Blends, What's Discontinued?

    No blends were cut after the merger, and there's nothing planned to be cut. However, C&D cut a chunk of their line last October. And yes, Safe Harbor was one of the blends discontinued. Here's the complete list: English Blends: Balkan Barrister Home from the Hills Stanhope Blend #7...

    BCDF available at 4noggins. ..

    I've got a bunch of Brown Flake and Kingfisher stashed away. I have this problem where I won't open a tin of something until I can secure a replacement, though.
