I noticed it is out of stock at both SP and TP. In fact, it isn't even showing up or listed at either. Did I miss an announcement?
Has Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky Been Discontinued?

Sorry to not add a helpful reply but I sure hope not but have heard murmurings of such things...I also am having a harder time finding OGS 100g tins. It's a fantastic tobacco that I wish I had more of either way.
Both DSK and OGS were discontinued in the UK a couple of years ago but I haven't heard anything about America.
The US is a much bigger market than the UK and I would've thought DSK sells quite well but who knows? Maybe it's COVID related and the production/shipping has been interrupted.
It is in stock at P&C....but are you that desperate?? ?
Its available at your favorite online store!
No. And how can you be sure it's in stock given their system?
Haven't ordered from them in a year and a half since I said I was done with them.
Thanks. I've seen several places that have it. Was just wondering if it was discontinued.
I think that its absence from SP is a death knell. When was the last time you saw a blend removed from SP only to return later (besides resurrected blends)?
Astute observation, I have the same thoughts.

Really hope this isn’t the case. I just started to enjoy this one
And now begins the run on what is still out there.
It seems to me, just roaming around the pipe and tobacco sites, that a lot of blends are out of stock. These seem to be in line for re-stocking, if we can believe the non-verbal aspect of their being kept on the site. Some like G&H are always out of stock, make of it what you will. But many others offer some blends but not others. For some reason the supply lines are deeply spotty right now, for Covid reasons, because of the holidays, maybe some instability and uncertainty in the pipe tobacco market, but it is certainly apparent. This is not just two blends.
yeah imagine you make pipe tobacco and suddenly after years of selling a steady amount of certain blends all these new pipe smokers show up with all this time on their hands. It would be hard to keep up with demand or even predict how long that increased demand will go.
I’m buying all I can find right now! Not really, I have a bunch already, But I hope that it’s not gone forever. 
Just being out of stock wouldn't have caught my attention,. Removing the blend entirely is what did.
Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong Flake is still listed, currently out of stock, but still listed. Those two blends are very similar.
