If not, for the time being we still have HH Burley Flake.

I'm sorry to hear this, but I've got plenty jarred.
I have to admire Ernie's integrity. When he can't make a blend to his specifications he stops making it. He doesn't pretend he's still making the same blend using substitute ingredients and he doesn't put the same blend in a bunch of differently labeled tins and pretend they're different or new blends. He doesn't engage in any of those tricks.

I tried to like that one but couldn’t. Strange how our palettes work sometimes. Honestly with all the changes happening I’m glad my government kicked my arse into growing.
I remember Ernie saying that the last batch he had to send back because it didn’t hold together at all - not even close to the standard crumble flake.
It is what it is and couldn't have known the 10oz grabbed with the pound of Simply Orange would be my last. As others mentioned, I respect the reasons for the decision for sure. Not to mention I'm sure whatever Ernie comes up with next I'll have to grab a couple pounds of that too.
Bummer. That is my contribution to the discourse. Goddamn bummer.
Well that sucks, I was expecting to order some more when it came available again. I have some cellared, though not enough of course.
You better listen to what @chasingembers says because things can change very quickly in the pipe world.
Never heard of them, checked out there site and always try to support the “little guy”, any of their available blends you would suggest in the straight VA / VaPer category, i tend to like my tobacco on the sweeter side. Thanks!
Please post the description of the new blend - all I'm reading is that it's a burley that's meant to be close to the original.
Thanks

"A blend that is decidedly darker and richer than WCS but just as smooth. Look for Waltham Broken Cake by end of August."
Its in the description for WCC Slices.
If anyone is looking for this same type of blend, GL Pease Navigator is killer. The cut is a weird kind of flake that you can fold and stuff or cube cut easy enough. When fresh, the Kentucky is bold and in your face. The rum is adds sweetness but I couldn't say it tastes like rum or another sweeter liquor. I bought the original release back in 2012.
I did my test tin, smoked a bunch and even though it could be a tad harsh towards the bottom, the potential was totally there. I bought 35 tins for the cellar after my test tin and then I few years later I bought a few more to fill out an order.
If you have the patience the stuff is great. It could also be just as good with only 5 years of age. Th e last tin I opened was some months ago and the tin was bulging big time. when I cracked it I thought a freaking shot gun went off. I am serious I almost shit myself. The tobacco was wonderful, well rounded, smooth, sweet, great Kentucky flavors and that rum still didn't taste like rum but I am not a big rum drinker so who knows. It tasted great.
If anyone tried it let me know what you think. The price is also reasonable as are all of GL Pease blends.
Thanks. "Darker and Richer" sounds better. Looking forward to it.
Ernie’s vapers are excellent. #558 is an everyday smoke for me and one of my favorite tobaccos.
Dang... I just smoked the last of my WCS last week and hadn't ordered any more. Boo.
I thought Navigator smoked fresh was great so can’t wait to try some aged.
I didn't realize these guys were in Mass, do you know if they have a store front or is just on-line sales? I visit my Dad about an hour from there a few times a year and it would be great to stop in.
