Flying Dutchman

[otm]

My father smoked Flying Dutchman for years. Does anyone know if it’s still in production anywhere? I am aware of the Sutliff Match.

I wondered the same thing a few years ago. What I discovered then - the Theodorus Niemeyer version of Flying Dutchman (the classic codger) is no longer in production. @JimInks might have more info on the brand and history.

Also, there's this old PM thread.

Chasing Embers has answered the question for me.

The Sutliff Match is really good though.

It's better even though it's not that close a match. It doesn't bite like the original and has more flavor, too. Here's a little back story for you. Then-Sutliff master blender Carl McAllister blended it, and told then-Sutliff president Paul Creasy that this match was not an exact copy, but he thought it was better than the original. Paul told him "Let's go for better, and don't change it."

Thanks for the information!

I loved the taste and aroma of the original Flying Dutchman; however, the cut was so fine that I had to smoke it very slowly, lest my pipe (and tongue) burst into flame.

I wish this tobacco was still being made. When my wife and I first got married she was a general manager for Chick-fil-A. She was in charge of three stores and one was in a mall. Across the store was a pipe and cigar shop. When I would go to the mall to pick her up I would wonder to the tobacco shop and sniff the various jars of pipe tobaccos, Flying Dutchman smelled the best.

One thing is inevitable is that sooner or later all tobacco blends die. "Another one bites the dust"!!

I was lucky to get a pouch back in 2011 or 2012. I was struck by how similar its pouch note was with Sail Green. This might be something for you to look up, @f4phantomdriver

Wow! I'd forgotten about Flying Dutchman, good stuff, I had a tin way back in the day when I began smoking a pipe.

I'll give it try, thanks.
