I think the easy way to tell is if its in a 100 gram tin it is made by Kopp and will be continued. Those not in the 100 gram paint can tins will be history. Both you mentioned are history. Maybe I will trade off my Flanagan. It doesnt do anything for me. When Orientals are the forward blend I dont seem to get excited.

Starting January 1st, 2024
Dockworker, Flanagan, Haymaker, Sunset, Tillerman, Old Fredder's + a bunch more, mainly aro's are going to be discontinued.
Find em now!
So basically they're ditching all the Hans Wiedemann blends. I mean, excuse my French, but what the f*ck is that about? KK buy up the company, then ditch the very thing that makes that company unique. Homogenise them to be like every other company on the market. Like Agent Smith from The Matrix, invade any and every body and make them all exactly the same. I am a pretty new smoker, coming up four years. This is the first time I have witnessed this type of bullshit. I have heard older members describe it happening to other blending houses, now I see it in action. So shit!
You never know. Maybe they will be reintroduced later if there is the demand. Its hard to know what was sold and who owns what.
Maybe someone will buy the rights to the blends or if they are not protected copy them....
In an anti smoking world dont expect mass expansion. The universe is shrinking.

I was considering putting through an order and put several things in my cart. Not gonna go through with it juuust yet.
Get it while you can! Most of those on the execution list were blends I tried and didn't particularly like. But Tillerman is one that I liked quite a lot, so I bought a bulk bag of it. I might give a few of them another try, since they're mostly 7-8 years old and I haven't touched them in years. Might as well just smoke them.
So my account is active now and I'm trying to order. I'm confused though, as most offerings have the same name and sized tin available as 2 choices; most often with either 3 green or 2 yellow circles for them.Good to know, and I've seen other references to successful orders as well. Now if I could just figure out how to "add to cart" ...? Can't find the dam* button to do so.......... First I thought it was because I didn't have an account yet, then after creating account I couldn't find the tobacco, then after restarting with the first helpful link from above I got the blends to show again, but still can't figure out how to add to cart... I swear I'm still sober
Actually I think they have to validate my account and it could take 24 hours to confirm I'm over 18 and then I'll be able to do so. I see a buy now button for a book but not tobaccos. So I'm not nuts, and I told you I was sober!!
Who wants to school me on WTH those mean? So I can choose and create my order properly?
Thanks to whomever wants to learn the new guy......
The circles indicate amount of stock. 3gree fully stocked. 2 and 1 yellow less stock. Red is sold out
I hope you don't mind my asking, but is there a limit as to how much you can order to France?
The limit is zero. Its not allowed. You have to have it brought in.
Ah. So if we ever regain our collective sanity and rejoin the EU, I won't be able to order as much German tobacco as I like.
Correct. They cant mail to other eu countries.
I highly doubt they will rejoin the EU.
I highly doubt they will rejoin the EU.
But that doesn't tell my why there will be 2 listings of same item, at different prices for the green circles vs yellow circles...
I placed orders for the cheapest of the 2, and it worked. Some were 25% off while the other was 40%. I chose the 40%. I believe they are the same exact thing but they created a separate page for the sale item or something.
See this example? Just above & below each other. I'm missing something.
This is one of he most confusing discussions on buying pipe tobacco I have ever tried to follow. 
Seems to me like blends made by Dan Tobacco are being discontinued. Which makes perfect sense considering they are a competitor.
The path is simple: sell all you have and buy all the HU you can.This is one of he most confusing discussions on buying pipe tobacco I have ever tried to follow.
