Daughter's & Ryan Specialty Line Update/Revival...?

[NookersTheCat]

Good Evening Fellow Pipers,

I received an email today followed by a lovely 7 minute phone convo with Gloria from Daughters & Ryan Tobacco. I actually called before I saw her reply so while the email is attached as "proof" the longer version of the story is: While, unfortunately, there is no more London Dock (the main blend I was concerned with) left in their facility she told me that Sutliff was possibly interested in picking up some of their specialty line (London Dock, English Hoopla, William's Delight) to revive under the Big S's banner.

She told me to check in with Johnathan or Kevin at Sutliff to see how the interest was. I sent an email but will try calling tomorrow if I don't hear more by then. Either way I will update this thread with more info if I receive it. Also I'm sure it wouldn't hurt if any interested parties (wink wink at you, Captain Embers, lol) were to email a short polite note to Sutliff stating their interest of purchasing these potential redeemed orphans as well.

Other than that, Gloria says she and Mark are happily looking forward to retirement and she appreciates the interest and thoughts of all in the community who've enjoyed their products. Hope this comes as *potential* good news to others as it did to me!

London Dock (the main blend I was concerned with)

Same.
Glad I bought several tins prior to its loss. Hopefully Sutliff won't be a match but the real deal.

Nice post. Thanks for this information.

What the hell is going on with the perique?


London Dock is child's play compared to the late great Picayune.

Not in the big picture. That one was closer to the original than many of the matches I've tried.

Picayune makes a hell of a cigarette though.

If you smoke Picayune cigarettes, even occasionally, you'll die before the deeming date. Haha

I didn't think they were that strong. A pound made three cartons. Sansepolcro was a stronger one.

I find them almost too much for the senses. I'll roll a couple every now and then.. I never tried the Sansepolcro.

I've seen your posts about it haha. You're a lucky dog... I got 1 to try and then after I realized I loved it, poof. And I've been pretty vigilant about these infernal discontinuations since getting caught pants down by McClelland and this one still got me anyway ?
Like I said, drop Sutliff a line if you get the time and let them know there's interest, will help them make up their mind hopefully!

Shortly followed by tobacco products in general (including whole leaf)

No. Gloria's been working for Mark for about twenty years, and she's married to somebody else. Mark isn't married.

Unfortunately, how many things seem to be going. I wish I had a better solution than put my head down and horde like a squirrel lol, but unfortunately that's the only response I have... pretty much all my hobbies that I enjoy most are on the legislative chopping block in one form or another ?

My grandpa may not have understood why I feel the need to have a 100+ pound cellar but he would not understand this world of ours in general...

What are your other hobbies?!? Lol

I’ve found experimenting with growing and whole leaf blending a complimentary approach to the rabid hoarding.

Thanks. I couldn't tell from the original post.

Vintage military firearm collecting/target shooting for one. The price and availability of ammo in the last year has made premium tobacco collecting look like child's play haha.

Vegetable gardening and canning for another, heirloom seed demand and canning jar supplies have been crazy since the lockdown mania as well. I definitely want to start experimenting with tobacco growing though! I've got an assortment of varieties in my seed bank waiting for the blessed moment I can acquire more land, lol.
