Title edited for caps and specificity. Please capitalize proper nouns. -jpm

I saw that captan lack grape has been discontinued not that it’s my favorite or the other captan black flavors for that matter. I wonder if the others are on the chopping block. Just a little disconcerting to see any blends going away. Has anyone heard or have any info on this?

Before Lane released Capt. Black Grape, they sent me several prototypes to share with fellow members of the Lehigh Valley Pipe Club. I swear to you, the box that they mailed me f’n ghosted my mailbox. In fact, I could smell it before I opened the door. The club was unanimous in it’s revulsion towards the blend. I seem to remember having to get a permit from the E.P.A. before I disposed of it.

well considering ChasingEmbers is the only person that smokes it, there really isn't any point in making more.

I wanted a pouch to try and looked a few months ago but no luck. Pouches were already gone by then, just tubs and I don't need that much. Haven't checked recently but I would be surprised if they were back in stock. Missed my chance to try it. Wish I could have but it's like a lot of the tobaccos I missed. Such is life.

If it’s true, and we don’t know for sure it is true, but, IF it is, well then, it’s time to get in the car and hit every gas station, vape shop, convenience store and truck stop with-in a hundred miles.
I’ll bet @cosmicfolklore is already half way across Alabama by now.
Didn't he corner the market on 5100 Grape?

I just found several vendors that have it in stock. Pouches and 12 oz. tins.

People on certain boards have been claiming that this was discontinued for a year or more.

If you believe all the BS you read on the Interwebs, then I've got a bridge for sale...

While certain vendors may have decided not to carry a particular product, doesn't mean it has been discontinued. They may have decided not to carry it because it does not meet their par level, or any number of reasons. Or the manufacturer has redirected distribution to a different market segment. And unless you have an in with the marketing dept. at STG, most people probably don't have a clue as to what blends are being discontinued.
