Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure
Why do companies have bankers and bean counters on the BOD that do not have the same product or manufacture interests as the owners? This outcome should not have been a surprise to anyone. Unfortunately, the controlling interest owner was a bit short sighted on the continuation of the...- badbriar

Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure
Damn - Just Damn! After reading this info piece from JK, I have to apologize to STG for believing and blaming that company for the demise of Mac B and Sutliff. Seems that, once again, our own government has royally screwed us. As was said here previously, no big surprise. The do-gooders...- badbriar

The Run On Mac Baren Pipe Tobacco Seems To Have Eased
It seems that the panic buying may have paused a bit. Shortly after the infamous announcement that Mac B and Sutliff were on thin ice, we saw the usual panic buying set in and everything with those names vanished in short order. It took some searching among favorite sources, but I managed to...- badbriar

New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff
Shortsighted response. Boycotting STG may or may not send a message to them - better if many pipe enthusiasts did this. Keeping quiet and simply accepting being 'Sutliffed' is like hiding your head in the sand. I'm not one to sit back and take being crapped on. I prefer to do what little I...- badbriar

Are we really losing that much with the closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?
Why would STG buy a viable company / brands and then close or discontinue popular blends that are in high demand? Beyond my minuscule consumer brain!- badbriar

This. I am also completely done with any and all STG products. This includes both pipe and cigar brands & products. IMHO, STG has ruined the brands that have come under it's ownership.- badbriar

Agree with what you said. I'm in that vein with McClellands and especially Esoterica. Although Esoterica is still producing (in micro releases), the lilklihood of scoring anything I like from them is nil. As for the likes of Penzance - I could not care less, as there are so many other...- badbriar

If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...
Bucket list - Iwan Ries in Chicago. Closer to home...Any of the very few GOOD pipe shops left in Florida. The pipe tobacco tax are of 85% in Florida has resulted in the closure of nearly all of the pipe shops in the state. There a very few still left, but most have a poor stock of pipe tobacco.- badbriar

Are we really losing that much with the closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?
With the soon to be ceasing of operations of Mac Baren and Sutliff, I wonder if we are really losing that much. I mean, there are still many other options for essentially similar blends from many other sources. Does anyone find any of the soon to be gone blends that are truly unique? Anyone...- badbriar
