Announcement from Missouri Meerschaum Regarding Some Blends

That will be the interesting thing. Of all the small outfits that Sutliff was blending for, it will be curious to find out who owns the names to those blends. Some of these brands might not even have the option to source a new blender or components to keep alive if their original deal structure left the brand name to Sutliff/Mac Baren/STG.
Or the sale has been in the process for longer than has been let known. I've seen corporate buyouts go through years of legal paperwork before formally announcing the move.
Do they have a tobacco production facility in Bethlehem PA?
150th Anniversary is, or rather, was, one of exactly two pipe tobaccos my wife likes the smell of.
This sucks.
Edit: For those curious, the other tobacco she likes the smell of is Orlik Golden Slice.
Neither is a favorite of mine, but I liked them well enough to smoke often.
Last I heard, they had been permitted to manufacture, primarily because of the blending that they do there. But they have room to do more.
What's their shop like over there? I've kicked around the thought of taking the hour drive over there, but haven't found the right motivation to actually do it.
I’m referring to the CI/P&C warehouse. No retail, not open to the public. The store in Bethlehem is very small, haven’t been there in years. It was entirely cigars last time I was there. The store in Hamburg is immense and serves beer. The Nazareth store is also big. I no longer patronize them.
