Mac Baren discontinuing some blends?

[Briar Boy]

Anybody heard anything about this, I just watched this YouTube video about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wZAfX356XmQ, I couldn't find anything on the website about it.

Yes, there was some talk about it here a couple of weeks ago: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/several-macbaren-blends-discontinued
This list mentions the discontinued blends: http://www.sutliff-tobacco.com/mac-baren.html

Several MacBaren Blends Discontinued

MacBaren's going to release some new blends sometime next year, and I suppose that may have factored in the decision to discontinue some blends. Also, these blends apparently sell less well overseas than they do here, and I was told that was one of the factors in the decision. I love BLB blend, and even though I have 4 lbs. in the cellar, I will miss it when it's gone.

Thanks guys, this stinks as I have really fallen in love with HH Mature Virginia, ordered two pounds tonight, wish I could afford more (really couldn't afford what I bought but)

I picked up some tins as well.

Now that BLB is no longer in production, give Golden Extra a try. It's the same tobacco, same cut and characteristics, without the cocoa added. I've been smoking it for a few months, and I enjoy it more now than BLB. I will miss having BLB around, but GE is a good alternative.
I have a couple tins of HH Mature VA in the cellar. That should do me for awhile.

4 noggins has an inventory of burley london blend - call him after the holidays. - maybe other mac barons on the discontinued list also.
