I wonder what the source of EU leaf is. I'm sure Oriental leaf must be available but Oriental doesn't feature in the majority of the offerings. Very interesting!

GIYF.
“Tobacco is currently grown in 12 EU countries. The main producers are Italy, Spain, Poland, Greece, Croatia, France, Hungary and Bulgaria, accounting for 99% of the EU tobacco production. There is a trend towards smaller growing areas, mainly due to falling consumption of tobacco products.
Yields vary between one and three tonnes a hectare, depending on the variety. "Flue-cured" Virginia varieties account for 71% of output, "light-air-cured" Burley varieties 16%, "sun-cured" or oriental 7% and other varieties ("dark-air-cured" and "fire-cured") 6%.”

so having rules and regulations doesn't make it impossible to turn a profit? I am going to have to show this to some people I know. Cause they have been assuring me there will be no businesses very soon.

Thanks for the update. I hadn't heard the rumours, but had I I'd have been extremely worried. GH is far & away my favourite blender. Thanks!

I guess Maxim will have to stop fear mongering and price gouging his allegedly out of production Samuel Gawith tins on pipes2smoke.com.

This right here... for shame

OK, with GH running as usual, where are lost blends? Why did SPC de-listed bunch of them?
