Mixture 79 To Be Hit With 50% Price Increase

[deathmetal]

I looked at the bulk sale sheets last night, and realized that the venerable Mixture 79 is going up in price almost 50% in 2017.
Is anyone else stocking up? I'm looking at a 5lb order.

I like it but not that much. Still working on a tub from 4 yrs ago.

Owned by MacBaren........... Doesn't surprise me a bit. ::

Wow, I had no idea Sutliff was owned by MacBaren.
Where does a guy go to find an independent blender these days?

 

[jefff]

Hahahahaha

Sutliff hasn't been independent for decades. They were previously owned by Altadis, and before that it was Continental Cigar.

Mixture 79 going up 50%!!! WHAT!!!
So it will be 5 bucks a pound in 2017? Too rich for my blood, guess I'll have to find something else to smoke. :mrgreen:

Edit: Reading comprehension fail.

Yeh, I was wondering why much of the MacBaren swag Brian Levine gives away had Sutliff printed on it also.

Yeh, hmmm... Do I need to stock up on 79? Very tempting... it could be hard to get in the near future. :::chuckles:::

"How will we make Mixture 79 after the apocalypse?"

 

[drwatson]

Well I guess that would depend on the "type" of apocalypse. If it happened to be zombie, we could just dry them out and smoke them. May taste just as good!

"How will we make Mixture 79 after the apocalypse?"

Don't fret. Like Twinkies and cockroaches, Mixture 79 will be the only tobacco to survive the apocalypse.
Also, is this a spoof of the Peterson thread? Or is this price increase confirmed?

 

[deathmetal]

Also, is this a spoof of the Peterson thread?

Now why would that be? There are many pipe manufacturers, but only one Mixture 79.

 

[prairiedruid]

You raise the price and a gaggle of pipe smokers will realize that it must be popular and becoming rare to cause the price to rise. Soon secret cellars will be stuffed with this legendary mixture as people hoard it so as to not miss out on the newest penzance unicorn.
Can Mixture 79 availability threads be not far behind?

Can Mixture 79 availability threads be not far behind?

That would offer a nice change from the Penznace threads. How much Mixture 79 has Peck stocked for his cellar?

I see what you did here - well played!
