Laudisi Distribution Group (LDG) Will Distribute Gawith & Hoggarth Brand Tobacco to U.S. Tobacconists & Tobacco Retailers

[tedswearingen]

Hi all,

Yes indeed, Laudisi folks (myself included) have been working closely with Chris Gawith & team over the last year on this, that, and the other, and most recently we've agreed that LDG should become an importer and distributor for Gawith & Hoggarth brand pipe tobaccos. Chris announced this yesterday on Facebook and today we thought we should say something here.

To be clear, for now LDG will begin distributing only this brand of pipe tobacco manufactured by Gawith & Hoggarth and none other. We anticipate stocking tobacconists with G&H tobacco out of the first delivery we receive, hopefully later this year or early next year. Keeping inventory in stock and improving general availability for all pipe smokers will be, as always, a primary goal for us.

As a company, we're charged, primed, and stoked to accept this responsibility on behalf of Chris, Gawith & Hoggarth, and gobs of pipe smokers all over the country. There's still much to do to prepare!

p.s. I did see there was another thread on this subject and I don't mean to steer course or direct an OP's discussion. Mostly we thought we should post something effectively official. Hope that's cool, Kevin.

Awesome!! This news needed it's own thread, IMO.
I hope that we will start seeing more ropes hitting the shelf soon.

Thank you very much for stopping by and making it official. Rumors run wild in this industry and hearing it first hand from a legitimate source is a necessity.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

This is good news for G&H fans.

Great to see information right from the horses mouth! Looking forward to seeing this develop.

 

[Pit&Pipes]

Great official news!!!

 

[Country Bladesmith]

Looking forward to increased availability. I know that’s ultimately in the hands of GH&Co, but now they have a major pipeline to get product out, so hopefully we’ll be able to have these great blends with some regularity!

 

[lelik]

Good news !

 

[mingc]

Great news on the GH front.

Which leaves me worried about the continuing unavailability of SG here in the States.

 

[brooklynpipeclub]

Incredible news! Thanks for the info!

hey thanks for countering the rumors and proving my best guess correct.
Edit: forgot pretty excited to get a chance to try these blends. As I have the same rules with woman and pipe tobacco. I don't chase after them. Unless it's a really special thing. Not when there is so much easily available that is great.

Thanks for posting the real skinny!

Thanks @tedswearingen.
Now, once the initial dust settles, and assuming Bob’s Chocolate Flake or Bob’s CH Flake, or Bob’s Flake, whatever it has to be called these days has passed through the FDA rules and assuming that I am correct in assuming that a different cut would pass muster, get to work on bringing in Bob’s Chocolate Plug. Or whatever it has to be called. Oldgeezers turd would be OK.

They have made it before. As Bob’s Chocolate Plug, I hasten to add.

 

[verporchting]

Outstanding news!!!

Thank you so much for posting this.

 

[pylorns]

Great news, so to confirm - not Samuel Gawith

 

[canucklehead]

Ok good to hear, I'm going to need some more Brown Flake and Whiskey Twist, hopefully they will be in stock at Smokingpipes soon.

 

[samuelgawith01]

Roger that.

 

[SteveNH]

This is good news. Hopefully we will stop seeing "Out of Stock" on all the Gawith Hoggarth blends in the near future.

 

[hawky454]

What great news this is! We need all the good news we can get.

Now I’d be remiss to not request that you all try to get Westmorland Slices... any chance of that? Regardless if you can, I’m very happy to hear this news. Good job guys!

Thank you sir.
