I can't read your link as the P&C site is blocked in EU countries and you just get this message:

" Due to GDPR regulations, our website is currently unavailable in EU member countries."

They need to update their site as we (UK) left the EU a few weeks back, it was in the news and everything.

Anyway, these sound like the same thing GQ Tobaccos in England have been doing for a couple of years now. The previous owner Glynn Quelch used to make his own blends but then new regulations came in and he had to stop so they came up with the blending kit idea.

I've tried a couple of them and they worked well, it was actually interesting seeing the component tobaccos and mixing the leaf together. They do take a few months to start properly marrying together though.

You can call it Catfish Pond!

(Get it? Trout Stream? Catfish Pond? )

It shouldn't have anything to do with regulations as Trout Stream has been out long before the deeming regs.

I thought it was state laws about aros, not FDA stuff.

I don't think that Pennsylvania has any laws about aromatics. But I could be mistaken.

P&C is selling other bulk aromatic tobacco blends, but for some reason the only ones that I see as "Blend it Yourself" are the Scotty's Bulk Blends. All of Russ' blends are still for sale already blended.

Sounds more like someone doesn't want to do their paperwork. So many other blends have hit the market and dotted their i's and crossed their t's to get and stay on market, but IMO, it sounds like these guys just wanna try to scoot in on their coat tails.

I was noticing that Hearth and Home has more than cut their offerings in half. Anyone heard or in the know on that?

 

[python]

Yeah, I don't know what is going on at P&C. I was just looking, and I don't have the time to look through them all, but some are for sale already made and others are listed as blend it yourself. Who knows?

Looks right, which makes this mysterious, as you said.

Are they trying the “self serve checkout” automation gambit? Passing off cost savings on their end as a feature on our end?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Maybe it is for those guys who want to open a jar and mix the two things together so they can say...

I'm a Blender! I'm a Blender!

Just a novelty now, maybe a way of life soon. Buy a few condiment tobaccos and who knows what you can do. A few basics like a all Virginia, Latakia, Perique, black Cavendish, Turkish, cigar leaf, all burley, etc.

 

[python]

I was actually just thinking that it doesn't make any sense regulatory wise because they are still selling the flavored component with the kit. So in essence they are still selling an aromatic tobacco.

I don't get it, but it wouldn't be the first time I didn't get something .

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I just messaged Russ. I'lll report back if he responds, or maybe he will respond himself, IDK.

Ok, here is the exact quote from Russ...

Anything that required us to do the blending in-house had to become a kit in order to meet the regs. Some are pre-blended so they could continue as usual.

And, as most of us know, Heart and Home blends are farmed out to other blenders. So, anything that has required Russ to actually blend there at P&C, is now sold as a kit to keep from having to do the paperwork to become an actual blender themselves.
Or, take it how you want.

OK, now that makes sense.
