Are any retailers online, still selling the Macbaren Capstan?

It seems that Stg has changed the remaining Macbaren blends, for the worse. Just wondering if any place still has the previous version of Capstan Blue Flake ?

I rewrote my original reviews of the five Mac Baren blends that are now made by STG. Below each one is a review of the current STG versions in this post and the one below it. Mac Baren Capstan Original Navy Cut: The bright and more obvious dark Virginias provide plenty of tart and more tangy...

I would guess that the only way to get that is by pure chance.
You either stumble upon an etailer that doesn't sell too much Capstan Blue, or you find some in a B&M.

I seriously doubt it, but there are listings on Tinbids from time to time with some.

I have found a few on this fantastic forum.

It's just timing and luck.
But isn't that life in a nutshell?

Why chase Capstan Blue and pay exorbitant prices when there's better Virginia Flake available? Buy some F&T CVP from Nova. Vauen No 14 is better. F&T Vintage is better. The new Per Jensen Port Guardian is an excellent red virginia. Stop chasing something that is dead and gone.

Nova is a great place, my next order will probably be port guardian. I just heard Capstan had a unique topping, and figured I would look for some.

Why chase Capstan Blue

Same reason you chase a little white ball

That's the only way you'll find some. Good luck.

Not sure if you're still looking but there's currently a 5pack of Mac Baren made Capstan Blue on tinbids and the current bidding is less than retail of the STG made.
