    Endangered Tobacco Stock Alert List

    I always try to be as gracious as possible... especially by being genuine. Like not veiling insults as praise. And keeping all my sarcasm contained to my humour :)

    Post from Jeremy McKenna on Mac Baren closure

    And that's the really funny part about (getting back to) the main thread topic... along with that Big Apple Pipes interview Leonard just did... he basically acknowledges all of this. That the older pipe smokers are smoking 1 blend (usually Capt Black) and have been forever and will be til...

    I saw your post about this blend in another thread, I'm def gonna throw a bag in for a try next time... there's already a few "RYO" blends I've put back just to have an apocalypse stash. And agreed, I think we're watching a very slow miserable and drawn out death cycle. The problem is when...

    Yeah as of a month ago this is Middleton's official product line. Notice how they group the Cherry cigars in with the pipe tobaccos... if it doesn't literally carry the "Black & Mild" name it's considered a legacy product by them, meaning days are probably numbered. Middleton's Official Product...

    Oh okay you got me excited. Yeah I already have tried it from there, Milan, and WV.. none come close imo. Usually because they just try spraying chopped burley with generic cherry flavor. From what I've read their flavoring was not only patented but also not based on cherries at all, rather...

    It's back?!? Can you divulge where, I've only ever seen the cigars still being sold... I'm blessed with a solid supply of old but I'd buy more

    Huh, if only this vast army of lurkers just bought more Eastfarthing maybe we'd have made the 1000lb cutoff :LOL: Nevermind then I suppose, false alarm.. everyone back to your bunkers haha

    Endangered Tobacco Stock Alert List

    True but I think only members get alerts right? Idk I feel like it's all public information just that this might give members a leg up once in awhile.. guess we'll see how it goes based on how many people decide to add to it though. Hopefully any lurkers sign up if they get value from it...

    Endangered Tobacco Stock Alert List

    I feel like with the current situation, a thread like this could have some merit. Mods feel free to move/combine but I feel as multiple retailers will be mentioned, this is the spot and haven't been able to find a similar type of thread. I guess we'll see how much traction it gets and that...

    Black & Milds... that is now the majority of their "business" (because really it's just a brand for Altria) Ofc they used to have Cherry, Walnut, Sugar Barrel, etc. etc. But for now (since they moved their factory to DR) they kept only the PA and CH tubs because they were/are like 2 of the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2025?***

    Enjoyed my sleepy, lazy, snowy Sunday with my one of my favourite wardens (Boswell 2020) & a nightcap (from my first order) from the Squire. Hot take, the Creek beats out Old Toby/Big Tombee 🤷

    Careful there jack, that spillage could feed a 3rd world country with what that blend goes for these days 😂

    Well at least this should finally put all the "Don't worry about it, quit bitching, there's still plenty of fish in the sea, etc." too-cool-for-school nonsense to rest, though God knows it won't. Ours is a niche of a niche hobby nestled inside a politically flogged industry. Of course the main...

    TAD Acquisitions 2025

    Honest question, do you find the quality of theirs to be better than the Peterson/Dunhill Elizabethan or is it just a price thing? I've never tried it but I've seen this (anecdotally) seems to be one of their most popular bulks/matches... just wondered why when the "original" is still readily...

    How have you guys handled insurance?

    This is a pretty interesting philosophical debate to be sure... Def out of scope for this thread lol. Like most things in life I'd say the truth is somewhere in the middle. And also like most things in life/nature, I think it follows a standard bell curve of statistical probability. That is to...

    Yes, these cabinets go 1 foot deep. No, those tins on the left aren't all CAO Cherrybomb... Yes, they are almost half Magnum Opus and Bengal Slices.. Yes, they were mostly filled in the last 2 months. No, they still don't represent more than 1/4 of my panic buying (the rest mostly Sutliff bulk...

    Intolerance to Most Tobaccos

    Def check out Brigham... their rock maple inserts are hollow dowels of absorbent maple so they maintain full draw/can pass a pipe cleaner but just help sop up that hot steam and tar condensation that leads to hot, bitter smokes. They're still one of the best systems imho...
