I left Irving, TX for Bayfield, WI

More taxes, less heat, more water (not worried about lake Superior drying up in my lifetime), and more room.

But to lose the entire HH line makes me sad. And the tax (it’s not really new, to be fair, but they can force it now) is obnoxious.

I recently bought 2oz of 1792 Flake at the full Aussie tax rate, but it was damn well worth it. Gotta support those B&M's puffy
I have mad respect for B&Ms in areas with astronomical tax rates. Being a tobacconist isn't an easy business anywhere but in places like that it's actively standing up to the nanny state busybodies.

Well, I bought some tins just the other day, so I'd say they are around and (acc to above sources) perhaps will stick around.
Me too. HH Old Dark Flake not available in UK for some time, but I stocked up last month from a supplier In Germany, believing STG would be discontinuing the blend - and now it seems they won't be... :-/
