Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

I’m glad I got what I could of Sutliff TS-20 when I did

Edit: SPcom still has what looks to be a good amount available

Yep. TS-20 is great stuff. Lately I've been doing what one is sternly warned not to do with perique.

Thank you I will get some TS 20 So good there is still some perique to be found. I am curious about reading : "Lately I've been doing what one is sternly warned not to do with perique." Can you tell me what you were warned?

I can confirm that the C&D long-cut perique it is difficult to incorporate into a blend; it's almost shag-like and tends to stick together in clumps. I've taken to pressing blends that I put it in, just to get the flavor to distribute a bit better when I break the resulting kake apart.

I have both types. Two or three bursts in a coffee grinder and the long cut looks like the granulated.

I really like Sutliff Black Cav. Can anyone recommend one just as good or better? The other Back Cav I like is called Buckey's Blend and the only place I know to buy it is Christie's in Waynesboro, PA.

I was able to purchase a tin of Sutliff's Piper Force IV and HH McBaren Vanilla flake thru the new NOVA shop online, which is a now a sponsor of this website.

What is the Nova shop online? I don't see it in the list of sponsors on the side. Thank you.
