I asked the same question. Fortunately, I scored 6 pounds before it got disappeared. Best Balkan I have ever had. The only burley based non - Virginia Balkan I know of. Hopefully Russ will chime in for better or worse if it is still in production or dead.
Pipes and Cigars site shows it in stock.
spcblends.com is where you'll find the blender/wholesaler.

Joe Lankford is the master blender. The Seattle Pipe Club Blends are, on the whole, very nice. The company can be emailed should one desire to know the retailers. I believe the Tinder Box in Tacoma carries the company's blends.
Is it because you are spelling it with an S ?
Edit-- Nope...That has nothing to do with it.
The blend is indeed in stock still at P&C

I see what you guys mean now. That's strange, why would it be in stock for one person, but not for another? Is it there or not? Did it ever really exist? Government conspiracy? :?: :crazy: :puffpipe:
"I see it at SPC but not at P&C or on Tobacco reviews."
^^^ Correct
What a shame.
Russ, are you out there????

There was an issue having nothing to do with the tobacco, just an issue that needs to be resolved. As soon as it is, it may be available again. Since we are just the distributor, I'm not at liberty to discuss the details.

"...it may be available again. Since we are just the distributor, I'm not at liberty to discuss the details."
BTW, it is "Pike Place" not "Pike's Place" and unfortunately it is a place and it is trademarked. So, it appears they refused to have a tobacco blend so named, or someone failed to do some due diligence. Regardless, a "it may be available again" sounds sub-optimal as in, don't hold your breath. Too bad, as it is crazy good.

Pike Place came in this past month's tobacco of the month club offering. It would be unfortunate if this blend disappeared because of the name. Possibly another Blue Mountain/Balkan Blue situation, but unfortunately due to the FDA regulations I would be surprised if the blend resurfaces under a new name. That would be a shame if that was the case.
"See you created a run on it and now the 8oz tins are gone."
I got four more after reading what Russ had to say.
