Escudo: not made anymore?

[Mandrakespain]

So it says in an European dealer:

"Escudo - NOT MADE ANYMORE. However, Dunhill Deluxe Navy Roll is 99% identical..."

You can see it here (scroll to middle of page more or less):

Is that so? Time to buy some (I have not tried it yet...)

First Dunhill, now this...

I think they are saying it's not being made in the UK anymore. I may be reading it wrong, but I don't think Escudo has been discontinued.

correct, Escudo is still made for the American market.

and that quote is dead wrong. Dunhill DeLuxe Navy Rolls and Escudo don't taste anything alike - not even close.

On the flip side, can you get Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls stateside?

Good! Perfect excuse to get both!

Unless your at a pipe show, probably not. I thought about ordering them from the UK, but man, shipping is killer!

If I heard Escudo was really being discontinued i'd probably buy 100 tins of it

every once in a while it pops up on ebay.
i scored a tin fairly cheap, then had to pay for "JUDD'S SHIPPING".

it's not as good as escudo, IMO.
