Current State of Deeming Regulations?
At this point, I am not so sure there is a final date for anything. The word"deeming" covers too much potential ground to be meaningful. There are at the very least three portals open to squeeze a pipe tobacco blend through, or at least try. A company with a problematic blend might try to...- oldgeezersmoker

Rose Geranium
See the Sugar Duties Act of 1846. “The passage of this act saw the equalization of duties on foreign and British West Indian sugar imported into Britain. Combined with the effects of abolition and emancipation, the sugar industry in the British West Indies went into a period of decline.”- oldgeezersmoker

Rose Geranium
Not. Rose Geranium has been used in cooking for centuries. They also use Tonka beans, or the synthetic substitute, which was first used in food before they were used in perfumes. Some sort of A!mond essence is used in Ennerdale, for one, again a common food ingredient. According to the...- oldgeezersmoker

Rose Geranium
It hasn't been imported to the US for over a year now. As ofthispost, Smoking Pipes has both Brown Flake Aromatic and Dark Flake Aromatic in stock. They are the same as what used to be called scented. If you order a 500g box, it will say Brown Flake A or Dark Flake A. All the same...- oldgeezersmoker

The Castello Thread
As a long time Castello fanboy, I hate to say that truer words were never typed. Otherwise, I have had good experiences with the quality of the briar and the workmanship.- oldgeezersmoker

Esterval’s Order and the Mac Baren-Made Germain
Number 7 was, as you say, made by Planta. Planta has been acquired by MacBaren. https://mac-baren.com/mac-baren-tobacco-company-take-over-planta-tabak/- oldgeezersmoker

Sam Gawith Pricing??
AFAIK, Gawith last increased their export price to distributors circa Fall, 2020. Some distributors, such as the Italian Monopoly, immediately increased the prices they charged to retailers. Others, such as the German distributor, kept their prices to retailers the same, at least temporarily...- oldgeezersmoker

Sam Gawith Pricing??
Watch City had 50g tins of four different SG blends from this drop at $13.99, now OOS, but as I recall they had FVF and Squadron leader, can’t remember the other two. Emphasis on “had” and “now OOS.” There have been lots of complaints about this SG shipment (all tins, no bulk) but I wasn’t...- oldgeezersmoker

CupoJoe’s Bought Out by Sutliff
No, Kathy still owns Queensbury Cigar and Pipe. They will still have A nice Pipe room, though they won’t carry as many different varieties of pipe tobacco. Kathy has built a great local business, one that has been featured in industry publications.- oldgeezersmoker

CupoJoe’s Bought Out by Sutliff
I think MB might well have wanted COJ’s eyeballs/clicks, customer list, etc. I notice their web page is still up. Aside from acquiring etailers, there are other ways MB could increase their pipe tobacco presence in the US. Sutliff is a Primary Processor and an importer. A non-US tobacco...- oldgeezersmoker

CupoJoe’s Bought Out by Sutliff
Well, yes, I guess it is one less vendor to choose from. But on the other hand, I find it encouraging that MacBaren/Sutliff is comfortable in making further capital commitments to the pipe side of things. STG seems to be more interested in cigars, both hand rolled and machine made. Who knows...- oldgeezersmoker

CupoJoe’s Bought Out by Sutliff
For one example, I doubt Sutliff will “cooperate” with international customers on customs declarations as CupoJoes would. And if you were a good customer and told them about what HTF you were looking for, they would try to make sure you got some before they put it on the web, something Tobacco...- oldgeezersmoker

If Kathleen Kelly is happy- and I was told she is- then I am happy. When she started the CupoJoes internet operation, she was one of the pioneers, along with Boswell and Tobacco Supermarket (Royal Cigar) in Atlanta. In those early days, lots of Brick and Mortar owners actively opposed anyone...- oldgeezersmoker
