Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture Available in US?

[Mike N]

I saw the ad in the first photo below for Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture today on Smoking Pipes. When I clicked on it I got the “out of stock” shown in photo two. Anyone get any, or was an old stock photo for SG blends used, so this was just a mirage?

I saw some on the shelf at Davidus Cigars in MD literally yesterday, didn't buy any though.
So that's confirmed American presence, at least. You aren't hallucinating. Probably.

They had it. Got two tins, along with two tins of Bothy flake. Been a while for both of those.

They were up with no limit on how many tins you could buy. They went within an hour.

It's been available in the past. You just have to catch it when it shows up.

Which Davidus location?

Darn. I guess all the Uber drivers got a text and the rest of us cabbie’s using two-way radio lost the fare.

Which Davidus location?

Ellicott City

Don’t worry. Cabbies is more hyped than it is tasty in my opinion.
You’re not missing much.

I saw it in stock at $22 per 50g tin. I was just window shopping

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Yeh, I've had several tins of it. I have yet to understand the hype.

I thought it was $26 the one time I wasn’t booted out of site at SP. Regardless it was the price (for what is an unknown to me) that caused me pause, and ultimately to be back to wondering if it’s worth it.

I’m learning that I need to spend time and money being sure I’ve got blends that I know and like (and are available) well stocked in the pantry before I go back to chasing unicorns..

I’m a Perique guy so I spent time searching on line and finally found a few tins. Thank goodness for that Google search engine.

It's hard to pay that considering until recently tins were on the order of $15 new and ~$20-25 for aged tins. It's very good and nothing like it out there that I am aware of. I would buy it in bulk, but won't buy it in tins.

I didn’t think I was smoking anything funny when I thought I’d seen it before at the same price as all the other SG tins….

This is another one that has gone through some changes over the years. Started off as a classic stewed fruit VaPer. Then it had a dash of their sauce. Now, I wouldn't know what to expect.

I love Cabbie's. It made my day seeing they brought it back.

Some of the later batches (around the tail end of when it was last available) weren't up to snuff in leaf and in lakeland contamination.

$20+ is crazy crazy crazy

In before someone says the old version was better.
