Any Interest In Getting Bulwark Flake Distributed In The US ?

:D

Good necro bump!
I agree that it's good stuff!
I'm a sucker for these UK style flakes and it drives me crazy that they ain't easily had.
Sadly, ain't got no news,

'tis a shame.
Now that STG owns P&C, I wish they'd import some of the good UK stuff,

along with the wide selections of Poul Olsen's My Own Blend,

I have no idea why certain baccy isn't marketed over here?
Friends across the pond remains the best bet!

We're investigating what can and can't be brought to the US. I can tell you that none of the above are in the first round of new-to-the US blends, but we just received 6 tobaccos from Stanwell that haven't been here before, and we're in negotiations to see what else we can get. We may have a big surprise later this year.

St. Bruno!!!!!
I hope!
Warrior Plug!

Walnut Flake!
Thanks for chiming in Russ,

I just got the new P&C catalog in the mail today and noticed the range of new-to-us Stanwell baccy.
I'm glad to see these developments!
Please keep us updated!

I thought I'd bump this to see if there has been any progress. I'd very much like to get ahold of this, as well as Irish Slices!

You gotta love the old British plugs!

Indeed!
My lone British pipe is waiting in the wings...

 

[woodsroad]

Are you sure that isn't an English pipe?

I'd order a few tins of this..is it coming?

Good news!
I just wrote Glynn Quelch about Bulwark last night and he responded today that he can get it. He doesn't carry it, but he already carries Irish Slices (by Stokkebye), so it's probably not a big deal for him to order it.

Like many of us here, I'm in the US, so ordering from him requires a bank wire rather than credit card. I'm not sure if my bank charges much for an online transfer or not, but the size of the fee would help determine how much I ordered at one time.
In any case, you CAN get your Bulwark if you want it. It may just cost more than if it were already distributed here.

"g)Sorry but do to restrictions we can not ship Tobacco, Snuff or other Tobacco leaf products to The United States of America"
FAQ says this? So does he ship or not? Is it a "friend of a friend" type thing? Has a lot of interesting stuff on his site.
