MIA: Samuel Gawith?

Mmmm, Kettle Korn's good stuff. Sounds like a fair deal!

Samuel Gawith and Gawith & Hoggarth are 2 different companies. GH was started when the 2 Gawith brothers had a disagreement and went their separate ways.

That is more along the lines of what I recalled.
Chronological History of SG

Thanks for the heads up Martini! I really hope it gets held up in customs for another month or so though... Cant afford to get any if it does become available at the moment And there are so many that I want to stock up on!

Nice link olderthandirt. Got a lot of detail of how both companies came about.

 

[olderthandirt]

The backstories are fun for sure.

As for the jist of this thread, availability of SG tobacs, damn!

Opened a tin of St. James Flake a few days back and find I REALLY like it.

Double damn in that it is, of course, an SG tobac!
Sigh.

Some of my favorites are SG blends. Some of them do tend to pack a wallow of nicotine. Will definitely have to try FVF and St James whenever they come available.

one of my local b&m's called on Sunday to tell me that they got in 16oz of Commonwealth in, and asked me how much of it I wanted. They charge $4.95 per ounce, which I thought was kinda high, but scarcity drives up the price and they are located in a Mall, so they have to generate lots of dollars to pay that ridiculous amount of rent they are charged each month.
