Does anyone out there know what ever happened to Schmerhorns Bestoval

When first started buying pipes, I needed a pipe stand. I foundone at an antique store with built-in humidor that had a nearly full 14 oz can of Bestoval in it. I reconstitued it with a few slice of apple. (I know, mold risk) Even though I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I love the stuff. Every few months I go out and do a search online to see if any has popped up.
Seems the brand was sold to Swisher, and they don't list any pipe tobacco on their website. is it history?

If so, does anyone know any stores that might still have some lying around?

Search Schermerhorn Cigar Stores based in Chicago.
They are owned by Swisher International Inc of USA in case the above business no longer operates, the 'ol fella died but had sons who may've taken over.
PS, NOTE the correct spelling, you had it incorrect in your heading and again in the post, it's Schermerhorn.
