Questions for Leonardw

creme brulee

good one, don't forget cherry cordial

I have to say: @leonardw has a bit of dry delivery like northerners have but he is sharing a lot even down to the sales lbs. It is really helpful understanding the situation and I came to appreciate it. He let me know the lbs numbers of my beloved Plumcake in the US marketplace and I seem to have been the only one plus a handful others buying it....in any event...he did not have to share all off the details but he did so anyway. Thanks!!

cherished heritage blends (yanno, like creme brulee and vanilla loose-cut)

Creme Brûlée, aka Rice Krispies, is a national treasure. Lane’s 1Q, a vanilla blend, is extremely popular and in some respects, allows the other blends that don’t sell as well to stay in stock. i can’t imagine them deciding to keep War Horse and cutting a blend that accounts for a huge part of the market.

Agree he has been helpful to give us a baseline of facts about demand. I hope he can add some clarity around how much remaining stock may still be left to come through the distribution channels.

Altho I gotta say the "allows the other less popular blends to stay in stock" part of your argument seems to be crumbling faster than the last of my dried out TastyKake

When it comes to tobacco blends, I am a heathen. When it comes to cigars, I am as antediluvian as you can get - I’ll take a White Owl with neery a blink or hesitation.

I am going to miss Tastykake. I planned on buying some more, but now, like in a Shakespearean play, the best laid plans…

Same here brother, one of the few H&H's I missed out on. Altho as of last check I think they still have 10-to-midnight in stock which iirc is just tastykake without as much cavendish..?
Idk, but may be worth checking out as a base for a lil additive detective work

He's said previously... it was 'because STG is the only company of scale that still cares about pipe smokers anymore and saving our cherished heritage blends (yanno, like creme brulee and vanilla loose-cut) and to ensure the future stability of the pipe smoking hobby/community...'

The beatings shall continue until morale improves...

Exactly. What I would appreciate is some honesty from Leonard. They brought it so no one else would.

Acceptance IS the answer! Pg.407

It’ll always be p449 to me

I couldn’t tell if he was agreeing with you or disagreeing, lol.

And yet another example of the need for articulate communication on the forums
