Confirmed with John Middleton Co. Representative 14DEC2020: Prince Albert is Not, Repeat: Not Discontinued

[shermnatman]

Confirming the long-story short: at this time, 1.5 oz pouches of regular Prince Albert are not, and in no way affected; with the 14 oz tubs available - for now - everywhere, except California; final disposition on the 14 oz. tub is questionable as of today; from what the rep told me this morning. Bottom-line: While the ugly "inter-webs rumors" were for the most part, but not totally without some merit, according to the Middleton representative, there is no immanent threat to the continued future availability of the regular Prince Albert blend to pipe smokers in the U.S.

Even still, with this good news, if you feel inclined to personally call and let Middleton know you don't want the availability Prince Albert affected, I would suggest to everyone who cares, to call, and let them know your feelings; at: 888-878-4562 - Sherm Natman

I saw the first post. Glad you were able to clarify. Honestly, I don't like scare tactics being used in business, but I guess it's just that...business.

rumors that seem to come from some random distributor sometimes they literally just got crossed wires and sometimes they're being shady snakes.

I believe that mixing-up the two for each other would make for a sad day.

Yeah I just looked on their website and it still says this:



You think they would have edited, retracted, or apologized for that by now.

It leaves Milan with some egg on their face. Hopefully they were just misinformed.

Well, there is some good news in this false rumor.
