Where, oh Where, is the St. James Flake?

[coys]

I have not seen this stuff for sale or in stock on any US website in some time.

An eagle-eyed observer can find most SG tobaccos in stock with enough patience. I’ve got enough Full Virginia Flake on hand to last me until I next see it in stock. I’ve seen Best Brown Flake in stock as well recently. Squadron Leader is fairly common on the web stores. The lesser talked about SG blends can mostly be found. The bagged tobaccos are often able to be found.

But I don’t think I have seen SJF in a long while. I’ve got alerts set up everywhere but never am notified of any in stock. I’ve 2 tins of it left, and would have this be one of my staples but for the lack of supply.

Anyone see it recently? Or heard of any concerns about it’s production?

Thanks friends. (And our GH friends if you see this - thanks for all you do)

If you're prepared to pay Aussie retail price (AUD$145 /2oz) + shipping costs, PM me and I'll send you details of an Aussie retailer

You'll save yourself a lot if you are patient and keep your eyes out for the next drop.
Unless you are really going through acute withdrawal pains

Sweet fancy Moses, I think I’ll pass on that!

Thanks for the tip though

I think he's out of stock atm @OzPiper I've been waiting on some plug..........

My local b&m just got a small shipment of SG blends - no SJF however. The owner said that means that the large shipment won’t be far behind. Keep an eye out for it and you should be able to find some soon

You should ask Rachel from Gawith Hoggarth. She posts on the Speak-Easy forums and was just yesterday arguing with someone there who was mad about their new tins.

Haha. I like Rachel @gawithhoggarth and I wouldn't argue with her, in fact I feel sorry that she's got to explain the tin stuff over and over. But I sure would love to know if St. James Flake is on the schedule or going round soon.

I’m not sure man. I bought a box of it in 2020 and jarred it up. I tried a bowl and it blew my mind. Seriously amazing stuff, but I like smoking Gawith on rainy or cold days (to make me feel British even though I have zero British blood), so it’ll have to wait until I dive back into that stash.

And yeah, Rachel’s posts are amazing. Besides being named Rachel just like my British wife, you can see her intelligence just reading her posts. I could read her posts all day. Highly entertaining.

I believe it is on a boat headed for China.

They can’t keep up with demand because they are too busy responding to emails and forums posts about the seals on their tins.

I got some in the November 2022 drop. Probably right place, right time -- I jumped and put in my order before I finished getting the rest of the emails about SG blends being back in stock.

EDIT: that came off like a brag, but I was more responding to concerns about production...

Hope we get some of the plug in the hopefully soon drop.

St James' needs perique and there is a very limited supply of this. We are currently trying to deal with very pointless and bizarre regulations the UK government put in place for movement of raw leaf. Not helped by the fact most government departments are still working from home after covid and as soon as you build a relationship with someone they move and someone else takes over and it all changes again.....I am working on it but its very frustrating.

That's stunning to hear. Are things still bogged down by Covid over there in the UK?

Thank you for the explanation. That's really a horrible position to find yourself. Well, if you need us to mail you barrels of "kitchen supplies" just let us know .

Thank you for the response! Sorry for all the bureaucracy that you're dealing with. We appreciate you.

Not at all, just a good excuse for civil servants to not go back to work properly!
