    Firebird Flake Release Must Be A Success

    I'll admit it, I was intrigued by the Firebird Flake release. Intrigued enough to set an Outlook calendar reminder to log in at 3:00 my time to buy a few tins. But it's been 43 minutes and after several 404 errors over the first 10 or 15 minutes they put me people into a virtual line. Not...

    Estervals order response from C/S

    Californian here . . . I got the same response from Esterval's about a week ago. I just replied and said I'm a hobbyist and don't have a license number. I also mentioned that I've ordered from them in the past and didn't have any problems receiving my order. The next day I got notice that my...

    Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture Available in US?

    I have really enjoyed smoking some of the older tins of Cabbies so I was excited to finally see it hit US shelves again. But at $22.50 for a tin I decided to pass. I imagine that the price is reflective of the difficulty they've had sourcing the perique for the blend and that's fine. That's...

    The Wisdom of Cellaring

    I started cellaring accidentally. I'd buy more than one tin of pretty much everything I was trying in the beginning and ultimately ended up buying faster than I could smoke. The consequence was a wide and shallow cellar. But I've corrected that over the past decade by focusing more on about a...

    In Depth Interview with Sutliff Tobacco President Jeremy McKenna on The Greywoodie Show

    I enjoyed the interview. I was surprised at how upbeat Jeremy was given his situation. Hopefully he doesn't lose that postitive attitude. Here's to hoping that he and the 40-or-so other Sutliff employees all land on their feet soon.

    Www.tobaccoreviews.com

    I visit the site frequently but it's hardly ever for reviews. I find it's a good resource for looking up information related to the blender and manufacturer and to learn about previous versions manufactured by different companies. So, for me, a new site probably isn't needed unless that type...

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    Leonardw - were you/are your privy to the decision making that went into the reported decision to scrap the machinery at the Sutliff factory rather than sell it intact? Many on here have surmised that it's simply cheaper to do so. Others suspect it's to prevent other companies from utilizing...

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    I'm sure that he posted with permission from his employers because they are getting roasted.

    STG Mac Baren/Sutliff Purchase - A Few Words from STG's Leonard Wortzel

    I'm not trying to be a jerk here but I'm sure I'll come across that way. I just feel like this post answered all the questions no one was asking.

    Massachusetts Generational Smoking Ban

    I agree. There's a certain amount of political posturing taking place here. They can bandy about the idea and get some social credit for being "tough on tobacco" while not actually doing anything. Many politicians think that tobacco is an easy way to score points but in some instances, being...

    Massachusetts Generational Smoking Ban

    Speaking only for myself . . . I've got five years left before my pension kicks in so I'm stuck here until then.

    I didn't take his comments as overly critical either. I think you might need to take a step back and then maybe reread the thread carefully. The OP said very early on that if you don't want critiques, you should say so up front.

    Thank you for the constructive criticism. I don’t really know how to use Photoshop but I did rotate the image and I cropped it to remove the car and the distracting branch.

    Location: Bainbridge Island, WA Date: February 2024 Camera: iPhone 14 I’m not a photographer. No real eye for composition or anything but I do have an interest in improving and I would welcome any critiques. Personally, I’d like the picture more without the car. But I wonder, are the...

    STG closes Mac Baren and Sutliff

    This is spot on. As a group of hyper-interested people in a niche product, we tend to go crazy about any little news and people come in and sagely urge caution and taking a deep breath . . . most of the time that's good advice. But there are enough times when everyone's fears turned out to...
