Samuel Gawith No Mas!

[kanaia]

Hope everybody enjoyed that last shipment of SG. I was just told by a reliable source (Distributor) that they will not participate in the new FDA guidelines. So that's all folks.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? Is it April 1st?

 

[stevecourtright]

Uh oh.

You are going to need to provide a source for that kind of statement.

 

[jhand45]

I would have assumed that a large portion of their blends would be grandfathered in?

 

[Pavelmed]

In a few words..what are the new fda standards? Is it just registering the brands and paying some fees?

 

[unadoptedlamp]

Even if this is true that a United States distributor claims Gawith won't ship to the United States, what is the worry?

You can readily buy all of their blends from EU retailers at this very moment. Perhaps a little extra in shipping and costs, but it's certainly not gone. Nor is it ever likely to be.

The sky is not falling. Go buy some Gawith today... it's just sitting on some shelves waiting if you can fork over just a few extra dollars a tin.

Somebody that sells Gawith stuff is inciting the panic buying of all Gawith stuff? What could they possibly have to gain from that??

 

[wolflarsen]

Synjeco's!!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Doesn't matter to me because I have 40 to 50 pounds of SG blends in my cellar. But I question the validity of the OP's initial post.

Perhaps a little extra in shipping and costs,

It's not that hard to compete with USPS.

If it’s the end, then it’s the end. I’ll let others chase after unobtainium. Still lots of good blends out there.

Let’s truly begin to appreciate our Peretti...

Isn’t Kretek the distributor? I would think that someone with a B/M around could get pretty quick confirmation or denial.

How much more panic buying could they get?? You rarely see it now so what's to hype...

 

[greeneyes]

Interesting. Sounds like a rumor an ex-distributor would spread.

Almost the case. Add “maliciously” between “a” and “rumor” and it will be precise.

tobaccopipes.com just updated their stock.

Looks like new distributor is coming up.
