I was contacted this morning by a pipemaker friend and fellow fan of Picayune...
As you have probably heard Inter Continental Trading has bought D&R tobaccos. I understand that they dropped the blends from their catalog that sold the least amounts. There is an email campaign going on to request that they bring back Picayune. If you enjoy Picayune, please consider sending them an email to help us in this campaign.
Here are some reasons to ask them to consider...
I can't justify buying 20 lbs of this in bulk, because it is such a powerhouse nicotine blend, that I cannot possibly smoke it more than once a day. But, if sold in tins, I would buy this at least regularly.
Feel free to add to my starter list of reasons to keep Picayune on the market.
And, lease join me in contacting them to request Picayune be brought back. And, back your words up with promises to buy this one, only if you truly promise... D&R tins are sold at very reasonable prices, usually under $8, and the their tins are always packed full. I would probably be willing to pay $10 for a few every couple months. Heck, if I knew it was threatened, I would probably buy 20 tins at a time.
Please help me with the list of reasons...

Here are some reasons to ask them to consider...
- It is a totally unique blend, unlike anything else on the market.
- It is not a blend that crosses well into the RYO market, so maybe just sell it in tins.
- It is also a historical blend.
- It is also a high nicotine blend, which there are very few of this caliber on the market.
- With the FDA deeming deadline approaching, it is not a good idea to remove a blend entirely, because it will be harder to revive the blend later on.
- I enjoy the hell out of it, and I want it back.
