Do you mean this, which was in a link provided by Kevin?

I think creel was asking about which site the article originated from.

 

[creeldaddy]

Yes just wondering where the photo came from not implying anything negative about Kevin and hope no one takes it that way, just was wondering where the original photo came from. The link is just back to Pipesmagzine.com. Hope that makes sense.

Looks like a press release. Now how many news sites will print this press release?

Looking forward to Rauchen Ist Tödlich.

Yeah definitely. At least it's not those god-awful disgusting infected lungs photos 8O

<p>I don’t care what it’s called, I just care about when I can get some

 

[mikethompson]

Good news for sure, I have enough Nightcap to last me a while but good to know I can get more.

You’ll have to post a thread on how they compare to one another!

Man ... I am confused, so at the end of the day how many people are going to be marketing Dunhill blends and Dunhill clones? Charatan, RObert McConnel, Scandinavian, now Peterson ... what's next?

 

[madox07]

oh wait Scandinavian markets Peterson now ...

 

[disinformatique]

So STG only bought rights to a handful of recipes? No Durbar or the new old releases?
Chris :puffpipe:

 

[disinformatique]

I don't care what they call the blends; just get the drilling right. Isn't this what we really care about?

:rofl: :rofl:

 

[pipesmokingtom]

Curiously, this information with the tin art and such is not included in the press release on the STG site from July 3. What is the source of this info?

Cool to see Flake & Dark Flake made it back... but we have less than a year to get our hands on these, probably a lot less depending when these are actually released in the States and they’ll constantly be sold out so I won’t rely to much on these re-releases, I’ve got plenty of my favorites aging in the ol’ cellar. Enjoy the hunt (refreshing the site every few minutes). Sounds fun!

Some of us predicted this would happen.
I now posit that these "STG-Peterson-Dunhill" blends will NOT disappear a year from now. Either STG has figured out a way to get around the deeming costs, or is prepared to eat them having sharp pencilled the cost versus future profit.

 

[3rdguy]

Personally I am not concerned in the least if STG has to pony up for the U.S. portion of the market. They have the funds.

 

[bullet08]

have enough to taste in the cellar. but if they are same blends wouldn't mind getting more.

Probably this. It's not like the FDA fees are that large, evidently around $3000 per blend. Once they've sold a couple of thousand tins per blend that cost will go away. Or, they may decide to do what others are doing and focus on the Asian market.

Compare what? STG is simply restarting the same production line they stopped. Same equipment, same components, same processing. The only thing different will be the name on the tin. Ahhh, but what's in a name?

Well, they're ALL clones, including STG. Actual Dunhill tobaccos haven't been made since the 1980's, and in the case of Navy Rolls, never existed at all, since Murray's created that particular product. Just pick the clone you like the best. Don't worry, be happy. None of it's legit.
