Thriving in the Upcoming Tobacco Apocalypse
Smokey Joe’s is great. SPC meets there on the second Wednesday of the month, if I remember right. They also have a nice, staffed, walk in humidor with a good selection of cigars.- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
Leonard said we enthusiasts make up only 2-3% of the community. Not that we’re only 2-3% of sales. My relative is the standard pipe smoker. Grabs a pouch of SWRa a couple times a month at most. Doesn’t do shows, doesn’t cellar, doesn’t do the internet at all, and smokes a Grabow til it’s plugged...- Beers 'N Briars

Ken Byron Ventures’ Post About Loss Of Sutliff
That’s why I’ve been quietly buying extra stock in my favorites. I lucked out with KBV as Acadian Flek is my favorite and is not on the list. 😅- Beers 'N Briars

Ken Byron Ventures’ Post About Loss Of Sutliff
It’s on page two in the news section of his website. And it’s a lot of blends. https://kbven.com/the-sutliff-thing/- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
I’d venture a guess we probably buy more per purchase, but the regular pipe smoker likely buys more frequently.- Beers 'N Briars

Say Whatcha Want About STG...
I think he was implying they "could" grow into that more than that's where C&D currently is. I'm willing to accept that as a legitimate argument, but I agree that's miles and miles away from where they are currently.- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
The cigar industry desperately needs them, I suspect, because they're trying to convince their market that they need to spend $30 on a single stick.- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
All true. And a lot of Danes are going to be losing their jobs too at MacBaren. Not just the Americans at Sutliff. I honestly feel for Leonard more for having to be there to deliver the news, than being a punching bag here. Looking those people in their eyes right before the holidays to say “I’m...- Beers 'N Briars

Say Whatcha Want About STG...
That’s why some retailers charge more for Arizona tea, and good on them if they sell plenty. But the private structure allows them to do what they want and not have to be beholden to shareholders, which is more my point. And yes, the owner of Arizona Tea has said that he made enough money that...- Beers 'N Briars

Say Whatcha Want About STG...
Is Laudisi a publicly traded company or still privately owned by Sykes? That does make a huge difference when you’re not beholden to shareholders. We have .99¢ Arizona Tea because it’s still privately owned. And I believe when talking about who’s the boss vs who’s the bosses that’s an important...- Beers 'N Briars

Say Whatcha Want About STG...
I’m sure most of the people behind those websites will be losing their jobs when the sites fold, and the fulfillment people were likely US based. Buy it up. Maybe it will help their end of year bonus if they get one.- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
I’m not talking touchy feely. I’m talking about Sutliff having sponsorships in the community and does STG have any plans for filling a gap they’re about to create. All I’m asking from Leonard is a Yes/No/Maybe/I don’t know. Not trying to invite anyone else in for commentary, honestly.- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
That’s a good point. Those are questions for Leonard but not phrased as such. I do want to know if STG has plans to become more involved in the community as part of this acquisition as they are eliminating a big community contributor in Sutliff. Do they have plans to expand sponsorship to...- Beers 'N Briars

Questions for Leonardw
Sutliff sponsored several US podcasts and seemed to have a presence at a lot of pipe shows as sponsor. I know the names of tobacco blenders at Sutliff and C&D, and the B&M blenders like Peretti, the Squire, and Watch City. I care about those people and their presence in the industry and...- Beers 'N Briars
