Not Looking Likely That Seattle Pipe Club Will Be Back On The Market?

Funny thing, I swear I saw than van under the bridge, down by the river, with “Free Candy and Pipe Tobacco” spray painted on the side.

Don't blow up my spot dude

There better be babka, or I'm not getting in the van.

I’ve been told, by those in the know, that Matt will be dressing up as Hannukah Harry and distrubuting the new blends, by himself on the first night. He’ll be driving town to town in a 1972 Eldorado, stopping at every home with a menorah in the window. He will also have a selection of SPC-branded microwaveable latkes, macaroons and those brightly colred jelly fruit slices that bubbie always had iin the candy dish on top of the TV console.

The image you gave me of Matt driving a '72 Eldorado anywhere made me laugh.

Shhh! The car in the film is actually a 1971 Eldorado, but the film is from 1972, so I’ll give myself a pass.

What's crazy is that my son is the least urban-influanced person I know and he LOVES big ass cars like that...

He likes all of these. There is hardly anywhere to park these behemoths anymore, but hey! At least he has a goal.

Alls I know is that there will always be a doubt as to whether the new stuff is as good/the same as the old stuff. People will always beware any change especially when it comes to this hobby

I can't think of any time when people have said the new version is better. I maybe mistaken.

Last 60 tins of SPC special reserve left on pipes and cigars…

Jim liked some of the Sutliff matches of OG codger blends better, but now they are gone...

cool sign. the fact they went through the trouble of making such a fantastic sign, only to be subsequently 86’d (by STG), is odd. who is behind their marketing dept?

When I spoke with Matt at the Vegas Show he said that some of the SPC blends were coming back into production. IIRC there would be six of them, nothing about STG being an issue, or anything that would stop this from happening.

That's interesting. I wonder/am guessing there were prob different deals/levels to Sutliff/MacBaren's production line. Like many of them they owned but I suppose ones like SPC they would provide contracted services while the brand's owners would retain corporate shares/IP rights... like a Co-Packer when it comes to foodstuffs.

When I worked in a local Italian Ice/Ice cream factory we did this. Most of the stuff we made were in-house brands we owned and distributed but some were from 3rd parties that would come in... we even had a kosher company where a rabbi would have to come in and be present on the floor during the run.

Was he driving the Eldorado?

 

[SpuddsBuckley]

PipesAndCigars can't get rid of that last batch of special reserve because everyone knows it's coming back.
