    Tins only this drop. A shipment of SG tins and boxes should leave Kendal very soon.

    Pipe Tobacco Tax NOT Reintroduced - Please Cite Primary Sources

    Amen. The same is true of FDA matters. I still see posts that rely on “journalism” that Is out of date and has been super ceded by statements made on the FDA’s official web pages and relevant and binding Federal Court cases.

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    H2O level is a major factor in oxidation, which certainly changes the appearance of the product and maybe the taste. Gawith is in a tough spot. After the merger, the number one complaint they received abou SG was that it was too wet. So, they pack it drier and the Internet s filled with...

    What is Your Opinion on the Taste of SG's Products Post Merger?

    Interesting but not surprising. There are lots of variables in how an agricultural product will change when stored, moisture content would be right up there on the list of most influential.

    What tobacco can replace SG FVF?

    Patience. Shops in the US should be getting some soon, as in a week or two

    Precisely what happened. Same thing with Brown Flake “A”, Dark Flake “A”

    Bob's Chocolate Flake is Glorious

    For all the pounds of BCF I have smoked over 30+ years, I have never smoked it from a tin. When bags weren’t to be had anywhere about 4 or so years ago, I bought a sleeve of tins for safety’s sake, but there was a drop before my last jar got emptied, so I traded the tins. I think the...

    Bob's Chocolate Flake is Glorious

    It does vary a little from time to time, always has. Not at all uncommon with GH in general. Yet another reason to avoid them.

    Bob's Chocolate Flake is Glorious

    BCF really isn’t THAT good. Load up on the special Pipes and Cigars has on Captain Black Grape @ $31.81 per 12 ounces and forget about BCF. ?

    Proposed Tobacco Taxes

    The math is more complicated than just adding the dollar amount of the tax increase to existing retail prices. The tax becomes part of cost, which is marked up at each stage in the chain to the consumer.

    Dry or Moist Pipe Tobacco

    Dry. Bob Rex, the former owner of Drucquers (where Greg Pease started his training in all things pipe and tobacco related) said it best: “ Steam is hotter than smoke”.

    Blessed Ennerdale

    You can shop elsewhere. For example, Payless had 500 g boxes of Ennerdale in stock at 4:30 pm est on 9/3. I have placed multiple orders with them for various things since they moved from Colorado to Florida’s all filled just fine. Their server is down from time to time, but never for very...

    Blessed Ennerdale

    Not a chance. Stay far, far away from #7 Broken Flake. Kendal Flake also. Avoid Conniston, Bosun, Bob’s chocolate at all costs. Your fascination with Ennerdale will have a very short half life. I give it three days before you come to your senses. ????? I still can’t wrap my head around the...

    Gawith Done In the US?

    This is a welcome announcement. Going back through this old thread, when I wrote post #17, it was not clear that distribution of Samuel Gawith would remain with Kretek/Phillips and King. It has.
