Has STG even began making any recent White Knight? All I’ve seen is older Sutliff stuff.
Disappointed with Match Balkan Sobranie

So that's why I've seen it's WK bulk. I do enjoy Sutliff blends but this stuff is just ashy even for an English. I rehydrated it but didn't try yet. It was on the dry side from p and c anyway. Damn, I wanna try STG WK bad now , thanks !
I thought it was always Sutliff, up until the recent buyout of course.
STG took over production of H&H blends a few years ago. Makes me think their takeover of Sutliff has been going on for a while.
That’s crazy, so they must have been making the Match stuff too. I’ll say the quality of the tobacco is more like Sutliff than the way STG processes its stuff. Well, my 2023 and 2017 are both excellent and somewhat alike.
Whats crazier, it's not just pipe tobacco but also matches and lighters, chew and dip, etc etc and even more companies I don't even know of lol because they also own Swedish Match. And sadly in this pc culture we live in the people that run stg in corporate are woke and don't give a rats ass about pipe smokers. This is part of my take on it. Think about it right after stg bought out SM they changed the name of Red Man to America's Best. Smh. So I'm not surprised by any of this really but....
Ya hate to see it...

The way I take it is until STG took over White Knight, it was made by Sutliff and had a bulk equivalent in Match bsosm as well as black house and 759 match. Then, stg takes over production of h&h , changes the blends and therefore WK and BH aren't the same as the Match Blends anymore? Or am I totally lost, haha.
