Maybe another one to chase...OK..Just ordered from PC 5 Artisans. I have not tried this yet but did pick one up 3 weeks ago. From the Tin is smells Great....My 1/2 order from SP of FMC 100g arrived today..the rest Saturday. 30 Tins total. 15 Tins are going to cellar for 5yrs+. They will be with the Pappy (Luckily I picked up a number of bottles before the Craziness and the Truck chasers for Buffalo Trace products).
Now...let me look at the Crystal Ball.
Yep, I have been stocking up on Artisan Blend since knowing that Syrian is going away. Not sure how much longer it will be available. I also picked up a pound of Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian just so I can get my Syrian fix in the future. Vintage Syrian is a nice blend.
Yes. HH Syrian is in its last year! From what I have read. I already stocked up on it. Will be good trade tin and prices will expotentialy go up to buy on 2nd hand market.
My 10 tins of Aritisans will last me 20 years.
As has been said million times, if you like a blend buy it and cellar now!

I just received an email in stock notification from P&C for bulk nightcap. They raised the price $.50 per ounce across the board on it over what I paid 6 weeks ago though.
Yes, I think Dunhill tin prices will skyrocket. Perhaps even more so than McClellands, as they are more widely known outside the USA. Although the inventory of Dunhill tins is probably ten times that of McClellands tins. So it'll take a while before the pinch is felt. Actually the present incarnation of Dunhill ceases production months ago. It'll probably take a year for the stock, outside of personal cellars, to he depleted completely. But I'd guesstimate today's ten dollar Dunhill tin will probably be worth five times that, at least, in two or three years. Now, should another company step up to the plate and proceed to manufacture Dunhill tins, why, instead a five times, I'd guesstimate a twofold increase in value.
By the way, I just purchased twenty-five tins of Dunhill London Mixture. I can't envision a future without London Mixture. What will I smoke when I read my Doyle?
Guys, Artisan's Blend is not going away AFIK. The reason I say this is because they have already quietly removed the word "Syrian" from their tins. Compare the one as SP https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipe-tobacco/ashton/Artisan's-Blend-50g/product_id/16412 to the one at P&C which has not been updated. So if you ordered it recently, you will probably be getting the new Cyprian version. Which is not to say it won't be good, or even as good, or who knows - even better.
Holy unsubstantiated rumors Batman.
I just sent an email to Kohlhase & Kopp asking them if Artisan's Blend is truly disappearing. I will post their response if they actually send one.
I kinda wish that the folks who post that a blend is disappearing, would cite the information that lead them to this conclusion so that other forum members may properly educate themselves. Just tossing that out there..

Lazar, I'm not sure that Syrian has been used in large quantities in Artisan's Blend anyway. The one tin I smoked through was good, but it wasn't like the Syrian in Wilderness. Although both have Cyprian and Artisan's has some black cavendish. And the tin I smoked was prior to 2017. I prefer Nightcap to Artisan blend. If Dunhill is rocking on in the Free World, I may have to order some Nightcap with my order of Ye Olde Signe. I haven't ordered any because I don't want to miss it when it's gone.
My wife loves English Blends, I'll have to surprise her with some NightCap. The tin art sets the stage every time.
