Prince Albert is Being Discontinued

[ashdigger]

Does this mean nobody wants my rare (although readily available) tub of PA?

 

[aldecaker]

If I have caused a false media spectacle, I apologize a thousand times! I, of all people, hope this is not at all true. I was just going on what I was told, and am going to email Russ right now. Hopefully, I was completely wrong (and I don't say that phrase a lot).

 

[crashthegrey]

In fairness, you made no claim outside of what you were told. It's not like you tried to make a big deal out of it, just passed on what you heard.

 

[aldecaker]

Still, you hate to be the bearer of false information. Thank you for the supportive words, though!

 

[chilipalmer]

If Prince Albert goes away, that's not big deal. Now, if Velvet and Mixture 79 get on the ramp to extinction, that's another matter... :laughat:
Cheers,
Chili

What’s next captain black ?

Don't tease, weed, you know better. :twisted:

I'm under the impression that hardly any newer generation pipe smoker has much of interest in those old timey blends,they aren't enough interesting and sophisticated to contemporary pipe smoker tastes.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I can handle Captain Black, SWR, and Carter Hall, but there is something nasty about PA that just doesn't appeal to me.
However, it is still a popular RYO. And, those that love PA, really love it. Most of the PA guys I know, only smoke PA, all day every day.

Lol

 

[aldecaker]

Paul, I've always thought it had a pretty good following. If you click on the "Top Selling" tab on the P&C website, it is right there, literally in between Lane 1Q and Captain Black. PA is not the only blend I like, but I like it enough to be irrationally distressed over the thought of it not being available!

 

[brian64]

Glad to hear it isn't true after all, but seems rather strange that someone at P&C would tell a customer that.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I thought that we were still awaiting a verdict. Isn't Russ going to show up with the head of a CS personnel and wave it about as a warning to the rest of the phone dispatch?

 

[brian64]

I thought that we were still awaiting a verdict.

Yeah, I should have inserted the word "apparently" in my comment, but based on what Russ said I'll be surprised if it turns out to be true.

 

[blendtobac]

We're addressing this to find out where this "information" came from. It will be addressed with our staff, and I apologize for any panic this may have started.
Russ

 

[prairiedruid]

Well there goes my plans of getting rich selling hits of Prince Albert on street corners.....

 

[crashthegrey]

It's not too late prairiedruid. If all of the internet based their information on us, they likely haven't read the follow up yet and are still out there panicking. (I am completely kidding, please don't profit from this!)

 

[kylef]

Maybe somebody on staff heard the "Do you have Prince Albert in a can" joke one too many times, and just responded with "No! They stopped making it!"

 

[bluegrasspipe]

I am interested to see what Russ comes back with for an answer. I like it for breaking in pipes, and if I am in a quick smoke no fuss mood.

My great grandfather smoked PA until he was 102. ::

Prince Albert is the tobacco that Grabow uses for pre-smoking their pipes.
