Cascadia Pipe Co Plug Tobacco - Weezel & Condor Do a 'Top Gear' on Tobacco!!

Spillman Drive isn't an entity, it’s an address. The Cigars International distribution center is located on Spillman Drive in Bethlehem PA. And yes, CI is owned by STG.

Didn't we just say that? Lol

I missed it. I shouldn’t post before being caffeinated!

I am just curious to see what STG have managed to do. When we wanted a 'War Horse' threshed leaf plug we were told it couldn't be done and be happy with this 'blug' which was a bionic type of crumble cake. As if by magic we now have multiple offers of heat treated plugs. To be frank with everyone I am looking forward to these arriving just so I can see what the flavor profiles are like and especially the structure and composition.

That’s a shame. I love the taste of War Horse Bar. It would have been a great plug.

 

[condorlover1]

Tell me about it. Hence my interest in these plugs!

Also don’t confuse Standard Tobacco Group and Scandinavian Tobacco Group. Different entities.

This should read Standard Tobacco Company.

All the IP of the Standard Tobacco Company of PA was sold to the guys at C.I/STG which included brand names, trade marks etc. The publicly traded holding company changed its name to Standard Vape Corporation and had an unsuccessful foray into the vape space before it in turn acquired two subsidiaries of FF24 Holding AG a Frankfurt publicly traded entity looking to launch its German based FinTech business under the name Fast Finance 24 Pay and divested itself of all the vape assets. The old SToP subsidiary company was acquired by a Louisiana based company for its tax losses whilst the SToP logo and photo libraries/art work was returned to Dan Johnson. That should clarify the whole thing. Simple right?

Thanks for the “clarification” @condorlover1 ?

For those that may have missed the story of Standard Tobacco (including @condorlover1) and their great work resurrecting lost blends here’s a great profile from 2015 - What’s Old is New Again Thanks to Standard Tobacco Co. - https://pipesmagazine.com/blog/industry-spotlight/whats-old-is-new-again-thanks-to-standard-tobacco-co/

That is why I love @Kevin Godbee the governor! Without the odd prod from him we would never have got the traction. Actually the real salesman was Dan who really pulled it together.

Was this really the company logo? How seminal!

 

[condorlover1]

Yes it was Sir! Appeared on the letter head, business cards and was engrave on the stock certificates and all the advertising cards. It was designed by Woodsroad and is a truly great corporate logo.

Engraved on the stock certificates! Aunt Maude must have been scandalized!

 

[condorlover1]

@mingc Aunt Maude?

@mingc Aunt Maude?

A generic reference to any easily scandalized person ?

Yes, the Happy Derrick was my handywork.
I should consider having T-shirts made......

You should...imagine you'd sell a hell of a lot on this site alone..plus the "other" forums.

Sometimes I feel like Spillman Drive is an entity, with vast tentacles spanning the various subsidiaries that comprise its vast tobacco empire. On many occasions I've looked at a label and wondered about a particular brand only to find out it's located on Spillman Drive.

My plugs have arrived. They're not "Condor/Yachtsman" plugs, but they're not light-pressed crumble cake either. They're squarely of the "uncut flake" type. I have to say that I find they've got significant merit when evaluated for what they are, rather than making comparisons to other plugs/flakes. I find three of them to be quite good!

Quite interested to hear what others think as well!
