Seems that the information is as legit as anything I've heard. Definitely a kick to the nuts.

Sutliff equipment will be scrapped so competitors can not get it. 50-60% reduction in SKUs (blends). Peterson/Dunhill blends may be chopped by 2028 due to decrease in sales by 25% in recent years.
So, it's ok if I continue to refer to STG as those evil cocksucking fucks, as they destroy their own industry to ensure that no one else makes tobacco products.
Even more reason to only buy from C&D from now on.
I'll join you in referring to them as such.
I guess one "winner" is pipesandcigars.com; both tobaccopipes.com and cup a joes websites will now move to pipes and cigars website.
I'm really curious as to why all of STG's posted minutes and financial reports are in English on their website. Even the PDFs. If someone in Denmark goes to this exact same website, do they see it in Danish or English? It just seems unusual for a European company to use a non-native language for their financial reports.
Yeh, can you imagine how excited they must be to fall under P&C's reputation as of late. If I were the employees, I'd hone that resume.

It's not unusual that European companies use English on their quarterly reports and financial reports. In Finland the publicly traded companys use both English and Finnish. I would be surprised if the STG would only use danish.
What the US government was unable to do with pipe tobacco, the Vikings successfully plundered and pillaged for them.
Jim’s review on Cringle Flake at least gave people an opportunity to get the last of some Classic tobacco stock. Unfortunately, blenders like Wilke and others will now loose the source material for other classics. It may be that C&D will be able to fill the nitche left in the destruction of Sutliff and I am guessing Lane - although we haven’t heard much about them.
Maybe for their classics, but there are still several companies that will sell bulk whole leaf tobaccos. If they feel like learning how to be real tobacconists. Meaning, how to shred or press their leaf. And, using uncased tobaccos from scratch.
But yeh... too damn bad cringle flake ran out so fast.
Pipes and Cigars doesn’t ship to Canada. Another reason we’re SOL up here. 
Well, maybe if we become the 51st state as it’s been recently said, at least I’ll be able to smoke my pipe at a cheaper rate.

A lot of European business is conducted in English; it’s the current lingua franca
I’m an in-house attorney for a large multinational group with an HQ in Europe. The “English as a common language” contracts are instantly recognizable for their incredibly odd English, and that’s taking into account it’s already legalese.
The issue for smaller blenders will be that the necessary equipment, warehouses, and even the historical knowledge will be lost. Though the specific pieces can all be replaced, the context of the whole that made everything work together a certain way will be apparently smashed underfoot by the Nordic pagans. Small nitche blends necessarily for other blends simply won’t be available. It is true that newer blends will most likely be developed out of necessity, but all that will really come of it is more threads on here bitching about how such and such a blend is not even a shadow of what came before. Darkness is descending on Dixie.
Unfortunately not a win for anyone that orders bulk from P&C as opposed to Tobacco Pipes or Cup O Joes. Last orders from P&C I had bulk included in, they were dry as the Sahara desert. That and they stopped putting the blend name on the bags, just an in house code. Guess it will only be Smokingpipes and the B&M online shops once they shut down CoJ and TP, for me at least. If anyone has had dealings with Sportsmans Guide, P&C has the same business style. Never got any of my P&C cash either. Really wished it was being consolidated to TobaccoPipes instead.

A Look at STG Internal Documents Regarding the Mac Baren / Sutliff Buyout :: General Pipe Smoking Discussion
In short, the tobaccopocalypse cometh. I have no affiliation with this YouTuber whatsoever, but I do trust his information to be accurate and thought you all might like to get some concrete information on what's going on. Unfortunately it's not good news. The very quick synopsis is that we...

Well, Lane is already owned by STG, isn't it?
