Lane Ready Rubbed Discontinued?

Gulp….hope this isn’t a expanding trend into the old time stand by blends.

and I'm an area manager for Churchill's

I was just at the Birmingham Churchill’s. Nice place to smoke a cigar

What is the deal on the FDA regulations as to why this was discontinued? I get it couldn't be grandfathered, but I thought pipe tobacco was a little bit different regulatory-wise - as I see many new blends still coming out, so I don't understand fully. (I do realize FDA regulations are a complex thing, LOL!)

I only have two unopened tins left. This really stinks that Lane stopped making this. I should have invested in a few 12 can boxes when I had the chance. I had a friend who worked at Cup Of Joe's back when they were shipping out of New York. He got me one case but I gifted a lot away .

At least you have some. How did it stack up against Granger , CH and PA? If it was available I'd throw it in my codger rotation (which is mostly all I smoke).

Who has Leonard's phone number. It's time to bring this one back.

I was thinking that this morning. I thought I read something about FDA grandfathering, but I have no idea. I really wish they'd bring it back. I know I'd enjoy it.

The Sutliff match was a letdown to me.

@leonardw For STG identifying discontinued blends that should be brought back, what is the process? We'll get the ball rolling for you. I already got 1 signature on my petition and am going to go buy a pitchfork this afternoon.

I'll sing as loud as that Mockingbird in the tree in your avatar.

There was also the Sutliff copy of the old Edgeworth, Ready Rubbed Match (one of my favs) which was just discontinued this year.

I have the Lane Limited (cans) and Sutliff (bulk) versions. What I favor of the Lane Limited version is the consistency can over can. Whereas the Sutliff version varies in flavor, presumed (by me) to be variance in batches...purchased across several years. All are good versions and I would miss them dearly if I didn't have any more.

@huntertrw, regarding the author Gene Hill:

"Sing me the old songs.
Tell me the stories of times gone by.
I want to spend an evening or so with you
to hear about your dogs.
I want to see your guns.
I want to read your favorite books.
I want to warm my hands in front of your fire
and try your pipe tobacco and taste your whisky.

“The Old Songs,” by Gene Hill
