Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

Just got this in an email. I guess that means all the tinned tobacco are going away.

Worse than anticipated - yet no surprise. At least we had a couple weeks of 'maybe it'll be okay'.

 

[Snook]

Wow. So what is this, 5% of the previous portfolios?

 

[ReformedPiper]

Why are they getting rid of so many Mac Baren blends? This is terrible.

 

[pappymac]

In a related email, this about cigars though...

This email doesn’t address STG brands made by Sutliff, or any other private label production.

But I’m good with that. Creme Brulee and Bengal Slices are pretty similar.

Isn't Creme Brulee just Molte Dolce in bulk? And Bengal Slices a latakia bomb?

switching from Plumcake to black cordial

Hey @leonardw starting the customer noise train here to bring back the HH line.

 

[telescopes]

Well, at least I can still get Rice Krispies.

Seems like even less! What’s left has to be less than 1%.

Why so many Peterson blends, discontinue all except University Flake.

Wait what! Weren't we told specifically they wouldn't be axing the Peterson line?

 

[Sobrbiker]

Sutliff is reduced to (what are in my opinion) four crappola bulk candy jar B&M blends?!?!

Very sad.

Less

 

[dburrows]

So it still says nothing for the other companies Sutliff manufactures for. Personally, that's what I'm most concerned about.

 

[Pooh-Bah]

I was curious as to the exact scale of blend-ocide this was, so did a quick minute of research:
Not counting any of the other brands, ONLY MacBaren and Sutliff, totals about 225 total tin+bulk listings on SPC.
...Down to 14.

The Peterson line has nothing to do with Sutliff/MacB product…
