Their search function is a waste of space. I typed in Virginia/Perique and got a grand total of 5, count 'em, 5 hits. One of those five is extinct and another has to be ordered from Switzerland. Totally irredeemable piece of crap.
The "advanced" option is marginally better.
But its functionality as a database has been buried under a glitzy and glitchy redesign that attempts to be hip, and trendy but only succeeds at being dysfunctional. Rates 1/4 star.
There is no ending stupid.

There is one way to find blends under their brand name. Click on the tobaccos icon, and in the search bar, type in a letter, and hit the search button. You'll see every blend under whatever letter you type in.

Lame out of the box front end framework that poorly ties to the database on the back end. To quote a phrase I liked back when I was in the development world... “The recipe calls for mustard, so let’s bake it into the buns”

OK Jim, I give in. What does a "tobacco icon" look like and where is it on the screen.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Damn, it looks like an older format.

 

[saltedplug]

What a complete absolute mess. Whoever did the redesign is a complete slobbering moron, an idiot, a disgrace to the species.

What wasn't broke is now limping.

Getting rid of the alphabetical brand search menu is a cretinous, moronic, ignorant choice.

It's been prettied up while rendered demanding and brainless. It is a BIMBO site.

Eastwood kicks ass in that movie. I love how he basically tells the young priest to fuck himself. Like in "Dirty Harry" when the detective explains who Harry hates, it's everybody. That spirit is best enacted in "Gran Tourino." Or his kids and grandkids expecting to inherit, who get nothing. Their faces are hilarious.

Eastwood is supposed to be very easy-going IRL, but not in his movies.

It's at the top of the screen along with other words you can click on for other reasons: Home, Brands, About Us, etc.

Change is never easy. Struggle with difference or embrace the inevitable.
Turn and face the change...

Change for the sake of change is pointless if the thing being changed isn't improved by the change. The architect Louis Sullivan summed it up perfectly... "It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human, and all things super-human, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function."
The form of the old site perfectly followed it's function. The new site just adds needless complexity.

Out later this month...

I'll admit that I was tying to stay positive in my comments.

After taking a look at it, I was able to find everything I needed. However, the layout is a little weird, and why the banner needs to cover about 1/3rd of the screen is beyond me.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Turn and face the change..

Or drop it and walk away. TR has never influenced my purchases.

 

[BarrelProof]

I don’t think I’ve ever typed “(insert blend name here) review” into Google without the TR page for the blend being the first hit. I found even the old TR layout to be tedious. Way faster to just Google into the site for me.

But I gave that up long ago, too. Now I just search YouTube and watch 2-3 hours of videos on a blend I’m interested in purchasing. Way more informative and entertaining that way.

At least we know which people here have bought into the idea that all millennials are worthless pieces of ****. This from the generation that said never to trust anyone over 30

 

[Fiddlepiper]

I don’t mind it so much. brings it in line with a lot of other basic site layouts.

But then I always use google as the engine to find what I want on the site. So their own search system being better/worse isn’t an issue for me.

 

[RainKing]

I rather liked the alphabet search line across the top.

Mike S.

I completely agree. Having the alphabet search at the top provided me with a roulette style searching, allowing me to discover and check out blends that I didn't even know existed! Gonna miss that for sure!

I don’t think they’re worthless, just more geeky and more accepting of technology changes. Just look to see what age groups lines up to replace a perfectly good phone with the latest release.
