Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

980ish blends to 4. Horrific. Short of prohibition this is probably one of the worst things that could happen to our hobby and lifestyle

 

[AndyNJ]

agreed

Christ the loss of the HH line is awful

 

[Sobrbiker]

And SPcom’s server just exploded…

Yeah, how tf didn't those make the cut? Or even some of them?

STG must have stock in Viagra -- takes a lot of stamina to screw all your customers that hard.

 

[Sigmund]

Really...why bother making any.

Really...why bother making any.

That was kind of my first thought as well. Along the same lines of tipping your waiter a penny.

I just looked outside, and the world is still there.

I think it's established you're on a different planet to the rest of us Woody

Is all Mac Baren made by Sutliff?

I believe Mac Baren has its own factory - and that the Sutliff factory in Richmond VA is shutting down.. So I'm assuming Mac Baren blends will continue to be made at the MacB factory

Guys do any of y’all have any lipstick? I want to look nice while I get f**ked by large corporations.

Both Sutliff and Mac Baren factories are closing. Remaining blends are to be manufactured at the STG factory in Assens.

For a short while then condensing at the STG factory.

 

[Sigmund]

Its not like McClelland closing. They actually knew how to blend.

Uh oh.. Does that mean every blend they're keeping is at risk of the vinegar treatment that was done to Sir Walter Raleigh?

I'm not familiar with the SWR vinegar situation... but yes.

Well, I just checked my cellar inventory. Out of 93 unopened tins (and a couple of Briarworks Jars),
I have 4 tins of Sutliff brand blends and only 1 tin of MacBaren.

Sutliff
Molto Dolce (2018)
Phantom Privateer
State of Virginia
Hill of Slane

Macbaren
Black Ambrosia (2023)

About the only one I will miss at first is the Phantom Privateer but I think that was a limited edition anyway.

But that’s just Sutliff and Mac Baren… what about SPC blends? Hearth and Home, Bengal Slices, etc? They’re all going to be changed
