What's your 2025 Lazarus blend?

[Dixie Piper]

Having lost so many blends in 2025 to the corporate chopping block I became curious.

If you could bring back one blend that we lost in 2025 what would it be?

You can name one tin, one bulk and one boutique blend if you desire. Blends that are still with us in name only are fair game as well.

I think Newminster 400 will be my choice. It was cheap, yummy and went well with the summer heat we endured.

RIP Newminster

I miss a lot of the Sutliff Match blends, but the one I will miss the most once my stash is gone is Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match.

 

[sablebrush52]

Kringle Flake, Match Victorian would be two, but only if made by Sutliff.

 

[Brendan]

Old Dark Fired, or anything else from the HH series by MacBaren.

 

[Eireprof]

Sutliff Match Victorian bulk.
MacBaren HH Pure Virginia tin.

 

[Servant King]

Bulk: Sutliff Balkan Sobranie Original Mix Match
Tin: Mac Baren Plumcake

May I remind you all, Lazarus was brought back from the dead, so I'm hopeful...

WCC ACPM and HH pure virginia

 

[Peterson314]

WhiteKnight and Ten to Midnight. I enjoyed pretty much everything from the Hearth and Home line.

I’ll be very interested to see if Russ Ouellette starts any new projects.

 

[Dances with Squirrels]

Bengal Slices.

I will need to call Iwan Ries after the holidays to check on the status of Three Star Blue, Balkan Supreme and the E.Hoffman blends.

I'll miss the Sutliff matches as well, most notably Revelation Match, when I smoke it all up.
That, and their 507 Stoved Virginia and 515 Red Virginia.

 

[khiddy]

HH Bold Kentucky, Rustica, Burley Flake, and Old Dark Fired.

Sutliff 507-S Stoved Virginia, 707 Sweet Virginia, J4 Burley, Modern English (EGR), and 515RC-1 Matured Red Virginia.

Sutliff Match BSOSM, BS759, Victorian, Late Evening, Sunrise.

Hearth & Home Louisiana Red, Magnum Opus, BlackHouse, White Knight, Burley Kake, and Anniversary Kake.

Too damn many blends gone in 2025, dead but hopefully not forever.

 

[Thepipehunter]

Too many to name, but HH Burley Flake had a very special place in my heart.

 

[WerewolfOfLondon]

St Bruno. I haven't sampled the new iteration, but from what I'm hearing, I don't want to. I have one pouch of the old stuff left. Ah well, plenty more fish n' all that.

 

[Skippy Piper]

I'd go with Super Value Bourbon Whiskey for the tin blend (it's technically a pouch/bag blend, but close enough!), Sutliff Strawberry Delight for the bulk, and Sutliff Private Stock Taste of Summer for the boutique. I'd give my eye teeth to have any of those back, if I still had 'em!

So many blends were gone before I got to try them, and some I didn't bother to try, because why get attached to something that's going away? But of the ones I did try, Watch City Simply Orange and Kringle Flake (2021).
