I'd be interesting to know, apart from the British Isles and America .. are there any other countries where G&H co Rich Dark Spring Dew/formerly known as HoneyDew) is being imported?
It's available to any country. What is imported depends on what the distributor decides to order and that can vary from order to order.

And you won't unless you are a UK registered retailer or wholesaler or a distributor.
That’s terrible news. Can’t you at least confirm status of Bosun Cut plug, Bosun Plug, Brown Flake Aro, Dark Flake Aro? Are they still on your product list? Or are they quietly getting discontinued?

Nothing is 'quietly' discontinued. It is stated openly and as it happens to all distributors.
Why would I need to confirm the status of these particular blends?
In any case won't really matter to you what we continue to make or not, as you think pretty much all the tobacco we produce now is c**p so presumably won't be buying any.

It may be beneficial to all if that list were made public. Then the smokers could see what you produce, ask our registered wholesaler/distributor for that blend and if enough requests they can place an order to you. Everyone wins!

I find it amusing that certain individuals on this forum seem to want to dictate how manufacturers/vendors conduct their business.

I’m a little perturbed at how Germain doesn’t have a presence on this forum. I’d write them a strongly worded post about how I can never seem to purchase their products in the quantity I’m accustomed to, and nitpick about everything… 🤣🤣🤣

I smoke pretty much whatever Gawith & Hogwarts produce provided it has Rose Geranium in it. It would have been nice if they had taken over the production of War Horse Plug as I do believe they have technology to take a decent run at doing it properly. It is a fascinating company and would make for an interesting P.E buy out target but sadly there are no other similar companies to consolidate into to achieve economies of scale. The worst thing would be if STG came knocking because at that point we would all be royally screwed. As the old saying goes 'Be nice to nurse for fear of something worse!'.

I suspect if you peruse Laudisi's and GQ Tobacco's websites, you'll get a pretty complete view of what's available. I sure wish I got more Bob's Square Cut when it was still around.

As I understand it, Laudisi orders a quantity of tobacco from G&H, it’s shipped, sits in customs, then it’s distributed to vendors, where it sits on shelves until depleted…

Then the cycle begins all over again.

So eventually, it will get replenished. The frequency at which that happens has many variables; G&H production capacity and production schedules, lag times sitting in customs, the individual vendor’s practices, etc.

So if you’re concerned about not having enough tobacco to fall back on, the sure fire solution is to go big or go home.
