Query on Samuel Gawith/Gawith Hoggarth

[vosBghos]

Is this stuff still available in the states since I began smoking pipe so many of their blends intrigue me but alas little to none seem to be available?

10 of the 16 blends containing Malawi on SP are from these blenders and only the Kendal dark and classic cut are available what gives?

can I expect them to come back around or do I have to cross the pond and stock up? Once I do can I bring this stuff back?

They will be back around. Usually a couple of drops a year. Goes quick but not as quick as it used to.

Ennerdale tins have been available at ~$10 at SP for quite a while.

From what I can gather, the US stocks get snapped up pretty quick (and there is endless bitching about it). Flying over to the UK and stocking up might be an idea, but I don't know how US customs would feel about it, so I'd suggest you check that out before blowing all your money.

As long as the Chinese continue to pay top dollar for this stuff you won't see a lot of it for quite a while.

Don't crow about favorite blends online if you like them to stay in stock. Forums have far more visitors than actual members.

I ve heard that some company bought SG and they are not too much interested in tobacco..I think the same company(I am not 100%sure) bought Comoy's so there are no new Comoys pipes and tobaccos being made...

Gawaith Hogarth bought SG to keep them producing tobacco. Comoy have been a brand of Cadogan since 1980, along with BBB, GBD and Barling. All of these brands are considered to have declined under their stewardship, but making pipes is a core component of the business.

20!?

 

[ykw5264]

20!?

Yes, for 250g box. It just had a discount for Samuel, Thus I bought a lot.

 

[Chasing Embers]

20!?

That's only about 11 pounds. I bought 10 500g bags of Ennerdale during a tobaccopipes sale a couple of years ago.

Yeah, none of that is correct. Seriously, how do these silly rumors get started when a simple search will provide a factual answer?

As for availability, the Gawith operation is based on making their blends using the same methods they have used for over 220 years to maintain the quality of their products. They're not going to sell crap to put more out faster I believe that they have expanded capacity, but demand has also expanded, as have Asian markets for their goods. There was a large drop earlier this year and smaller drops since, after a long drought.
Eventually there will be another good sized drop. So stay alert.

I have heard it personally at the pipe show...They told me about Comoy as well..It may be a different company who bought Comoy's but they mentioned SG got same problems ..some info you just can not find online.....

Have you seen new Comoy pipes or tobacco for sale this year?I have talk to people from Chacom from Europe at the show and they mentioned some large company bought Comoy recently and they are not interested in making pipes right now or no more...they mentioned that SGawith got a similar problem..so who knows.....

There has been no disruption of supply coming out of the Gawith factory in the Uk.SG blends are still readily available on the main online retailers.So I would imagine it’s the usual distribution issues to both Europe and the US.

This is just a lazy thread.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Yeah, and what's the deal with McClelland? Anyone know the recipe for 5100?

Throw enough BS and some will stick.
Some people like to be thought of =as in the know

don’t believe all you are told or read on the internet
