Is Stonehenge Flake Gone?

[gervais]

Is there any other G&H blend that is similar enough to it?

I’ve got 10 tins in my cellar with 2-3 years of age on it. Such a lovely blend.

Scarcity for blends come and go. I remember for a while when Peterson 3P’s was out of stock for the longest time and now it seems to never go out of stock. Same with Prince Albert and Carter Hall.

When the manufacturing for Prince Albert and Carter hall switched to the Dominican Republic and the supplies were low you woulda thought they were esoterica blends

I think Louisiana Flake is sort of similar, as well as Hansom Flake.

Thanks @jeremyreeves for the update. Guess I'd better slow down on my Stonehenge consumption.

I'm not familiar with Hansom Flake but believe you are correct about Louisiane Flake. If I remember correctly, G & H started offering Stonehenge Flake under their own banner as LF.

I was let down by La Flake. I hope Stonehenge is better when I get around to it

While I think LF and Stonehenge are similar, I do not think they are the same blend. I would be surprised if they were. But, considering the inconsistencies between batches, and the fact that LF is sold in bulk, I suppose it could be possible.

Louisiana Flake is probably my favorite blend from GH. I wish it were in stock more often.

I have one tin and maybe I’ll smoke it some day. But as with all other tobaccos, now that it is not even listed on Sp.com (very weird as normally they would leave it up with a “Currently out of stock” message), I’m suddenly needing more.

Speaking of GH/SG: new drop of Sam Gawith 8oz facings over there. 1792 Flake and Black Rope for those who do not currently have hair on their chest.

I still have a tin of the original from 2001, I think. Mebbe one of these days I'll get around to smoking it.

I smoked a bowl of the original 5 or 6 years ago and was absolutely entranced by it. You should enjoy it sooner rather than later.
