Since the Chinese think it's reasonable to use formaldehyde on anything from fabric to baby formula, I definitely would not ever put Chinese tobacco in my pipe. ☠I think the Asian markets, particularly China, will see the big makers' production and distribution of tobacco aimed their way.
Boys, don't fret...
I will grow and pick and ferment and smoke and cure whatever is necessary. I'm not the only one, for there are others... and with strong perseverance and solidarity on our many forum's we will not die!
Uh, considering all of my favorites from Esoterica, Gawith, Rattray's, Dunhill, Orlik, and Wessex on that list, why was I ever even worried?This might be helpful, it’s what was available on SP in 2006:

Well damn. Def need a tin or ten of that for down the road...Unfortunately the Wessex BCDF isn’t.
Sir, you have named all my favorites. Now I'm really worried!With the virus ravaging the planet, I think the FDA would look like morons worrying about deeming laws. W may get a reprieve on this one.Having said that it is obvious to me what needs to be bought in big numbers. Here is my list if I were in the market.
Capstan Blue Flake
Salty Dogs
Curly Block
Savinelli Doblone d'Oro
Peterson Flake
Peterson Navy Rollls
Mac Baren Old Dark Fired
Rattray Wallace Flake
Rattray Sterling Flake
Not sure if it is on the block as it was made for years then went away for a frew years. Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky
I know Solani 660 and 833 won't be on list but I would still but the shit out of them just because.
Oh and don't forget the biggest money makers that will b e axed are Cult Blood Red Moon and Sutliff Molto Dolce. Go ahead discard my warnings. They will be just like Esoterica. You heard it here first.
You fellows mean the Capstan Original Navy Cut in the blue tin? It's great and I have it in my weekly rotation at least twice. Better hope they don't stop making it!The Capstan Blue we know came on the market in 2013. I twas off the ,market a couple of decades I think so I have no idea what would happen to it. I loaded in 2013 with around a 175 tins. I love the stuff and mo way am I running out.
