    How Long do Lakeland Toppings Last When Cellared?

    Dude, you’re just trolling at this point. GH needs to set YOU to ignore…

    Massachusetts Generational Smoking Ban

    This is true, however, according to state numbers revenue has declined 10-12% every year since 2019. This year will clock in at about 300M, while marijuana raked in over 6 billion. With a generational phase out, the numbers for tobacco will continue to decline along with the increase of bans. I...

    Massachusetts Generational Smoking Ban

    I love everyone injecting politics into this (as in right vs left). I’m a moderate/independent moving from Tennessee to Massachusetts. And I’ll gladly take their improved schools, better treatment of women’s rights, etc. than the horseshit in this state. Tobacco doesn’t make much money for...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    I also just happened to be on SP when the Sutliff sale started. Got a pound of VA Slices, pound of Balkan Sobranie Original match, and a pound of Balkan Sobranie 759 match. Getting a pound of bulk White Knight and Black House was a must.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Honestly, they all looked great this time around. I got a Rua the last time these dropped (last spring I think?) and it has great blast, too. It’s also larger than this Iora. My Rua is bigger than my house pipe and this Iora is about the size of a pub pipe (talking bowl size).

    What Are You Drinking? December 2024

    I’ll definitely try it if I find it. So far no Amontillados or anything with PX grapes where I live. I’ll probably grab some next time in Nashville.

    Breaking in the Pete Iora plateau with some Chelsea Morning.

    Just got the new Iora plateau. Peterson outdid themselves with these.

    What Are You Drinking? December 2024

    Wow, thank you for the great info and recs! I live in Memphis and we have very few selections of sherry, but I'm in the process of moving to Massachusetts and there are a few great shops there that I'm hoping will have (or be able to get) some of these. I've been searching for a Barbadillo...

    What Are You Drinking? December 2024

    I'm usually an IPA/Bourbon guy, but I have been on a serious Sherry kick of late. I was gifted a bottle of craft Sherry, not the usual Harvey's, etc., and it blew me away. I had no idea this stuff was so good for sipping. Pleasant light alcohol buzz, no hangover/bad effects, fantastic flavor...

    A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout

    Yeah, I'm with you here. I know that Peretti has been using C&D for a lot of their blends and I'm betting that Boswell's, Country Squire, etc. will probably try to follow suit. If they truly use raw blending tobacco to make their stuff there should be minimal problems. I assume they aren't...

    A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout

    Just going by what I usually see in the best sellers list on SmokingPipes. Since the internal leak document said that STG plans to cut their own portfolio, including Dunhill/Peterson, I'd assume they'd be cutting the ones that sell least and keep the best sellers, whatever they are.

    What Will Be The Most Sought-After Sutliff Blends 5 Years From Now?

    Definitely the collector/seasonal stuff like Old Boss, Silver Quarter, Maple Shadows, and Cringle Flake. I think I will actually miss the Hearth and Home stuff more. Russ was doing great bulk stuff (Anniversary Cake, 10 to Midnight come to mind quick) and the H&H tins like White Knight/Black...

    A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout

    I'm also curious what would have happened with McB (and, therefore, Sutliff) if STG hadn't purchased them. Were they on the verge of collapse? Would McBaren/Sutliff have otherwise just closed up shop and disappeared? In this case, STG may be saving the core McB stuff while cutting their own...

    A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout

    I admit that I'm a lukewarm Sutliff/McB fan--I mostly stick to GLP/C&D, HU, Gawith, and Germain's at this point--but it sounds to me like STG is just cutting down the portfolio for McBaren and their own stuff. It's only Sutliff getting the big gutting. I find it odd, though, that the...
