Gawith Hoggarth Vintage Cut
Hey guys, couldn't help but weigh in here. Some folks might tastes some differences between some of the blends, but what's most interesting about this extension is the cut. Most pipe smokers aren't going to distinguish anything of note between the blends, but they should note significant...- tedswearingen

Laudisi Distribution Group (LDG) Will Distribute Gawith & Hoggarth Brand Tobacco to U.S. Tobacconists & Tobacco Retailers
Hi all, Yes indeed, Laudisi folks (myself included) have been working closely with Chris Gawith & team over the last year on this, that, and the other, and most recently we've agreed that LDG should become an importer and distributor for Gawith & Hoggarth brand pipe tobaccos. Chris announced...- tedswearingen

A Doblone D’oro Mystery.
All, When we placed an order to Mac Baren back in April for a fresh run of Doblone d'Oro we didn't ask for any tweaks or changes to the recipe. And I have faith that Mac Baren didn't make any changes to the product without talking with us first. (qv. Russ' contribution to the thread.) So...- tedswearingen

C&D Sansepolcro Availability
Guys, we're not going to make any promises on a run of Sansepolcro for in 2018, but just this morning we received some samples of Dark Fired Kentucky from Italy for the purposes of producing another batch. We'll see how it goes! As far as ongoing availability goes, we'd discussed it some as an...- tedswearingen

C&D Just Teased Re-Release of Stonehenge on 6-23-17
Guys, I feel compelled to clarify here. Yes, the aim is regular production, but that doesn't mean it'll be in stock all the time. Think about the regular availability of anything from G&H. I don't want to feed the panic, but once LDG (our distributor) is out of stock on the stuff, I can barely...- tedswearingen

SP Cornell & Diehl Tins a Deal
@woodsroad—Nobody blamed anything on a distributor. Dude suggested Smokingpipes could have raised prices to offset a promotion. Didn't happen. Adam said our distributor (LDG; which is us, which we don't pretend isn't) deployed MAP last year, which in some retail instances increased prices—it did...- tedswearingen

SP Cornell & Diehl Tins a Deal
@aristokles—I'm not sure that 'incestuous' is quite the right word—the implication being there's something unwholesome about the way our companies conduct business with one another. But to be clear, Laudisi Distribution Group, the US distributor of C&D, GL Pease, and Savinelli Pipes (and other...- tedswearingen

@gsmunoz—Greg would like to see it produced regularly. We're not 100% positive what that looks like yet, but that is the plan.- tedswearingen

FDA Withdraws Deeming Regulation
From the document it seems that the FDA is withdrawing rule 81 FR 52371. Which reads "[t]he Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is issuing a proposed rule describing when FDA would refuse to accept a tobacco product submission (or application) because the application has not met a minimum...- tedswearingen

Two of My Favorites Moldy
jpmcwjr, that's a great question. I don't think I can provide a satisfying or complete answer without a laboratory, a chemist, and a research analyst. (Not to be glib, rather I'm being totally sincere!) Every blend is different. Every batch is different, particularly keeping in mind that crops...- tedswearingen

Two of My Favorites Moldy
All, I've worked in the tobacco business for six years now. One thing I've learned is that there are manufacturing trade-offs. Some manufacturers are lauded for their very light hand with additives such as Propylene Glycol and mold inhibitors. Other manufacturers' heavy use of PG and other...- tedswearingen
