This not withstanding, I would love to see some of the “American heritage” burley blends back. Seeing George Washington on the shelf next to PA and SWR would be great.
If there is a company focusing on resurrecting true to life old blends, I’m in.

If you want a sample, just let me know.
Also, it comes in bulk on the cheap if you need to top of the cellar soon.
A few things are very likely to occur if any discontinued tobacco blends were resurrected - even if the exact original tobaccos & formulas were used.
First, many would swear that the old release was better and something has changed. Others would be convinced that the company was sold. and revert back to the first issue. Another likelihood is that, once the novelty wore off, it would be just another offering.
Still, I wouldn't mind seeing some tins of Old Dog and Scottish Woods dropped in my lap!

We can still buy most of my favorites, but if I was being greedy I’d take Gallaher’s Irish Roll, and I’d have GH make another run of Rose Geranium Plug, this time for SP instead of GQ, so it didn’t cost me a fortune.
Id like to see a picture of the tin if it has cool artwork
i’d like to try some player’s pipe tobacco from yore
Oh I thought it might be an older metal tin with cool art. I have this “tin” lol
I really do enjoy Bengal Slices in the morning. For that, I thank you.
I am in the UK, all the tobaccos that I have smoked in over 50 years still excites, except one, Eikens from Holland, my late Wife used to buy me it in the early 70's, a small tin, 25grms, heavily cased but lovely, I still miss it today.
I would love to see Affordable Pipes blends back- Bluegrass Melody, Morning Watch, Old Fashioned. I had just discovered these when AP closed - had no chance to lay in a supply.
Be nice to see Sail Natural back, as well.

Orlik Brown Sliced. I love Golden Sliced very much and have always wanted to try some of the Brown Sliced. The hunt continues just so I can know what I'm missing out on. The Sam Gawith Brown Sugar Flake copycat was good, but I'd love to see what the original was like.
It did seem like a good idea at the time.
Let that be a warning!
Karl Wallenda said the same thing, although you had to listen pretty carefully to hear it.
Erinmore Plug
Velvan Plug
Anthing from Gallaher
Bengal Slices
3 Nuns
Balkan Sobranie
Escudo
I‘m sure I’ll think of more once I start reading this thread but this is all that’s coming to my tired brain at the moment.
(disclaimer - I know that some of these are on the market now, but I’m talking about their blends made by the original blenders (houses))

Edgeworth Sliced. I have never tried it and would love to, especially as a predominantly burley enjoyer.
This is assuming it will be just like it was.
Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky/Peter Heinrichs Dark Strong. Orlik DSK doesn't exist anymore, and PH DS has been drastically changed. These were some of my all time favorite tobaccos.

No revived, recreated or copied blend will ever be the same as the original. And if it were, hundreds would swear the original was better.
