Discontinued???
I have been away from pipes for a while so if this thread has been done already.... well, I'll just beat the dead horse.

I have been reading in a couple threads about some blends that have hit the chopping block. Escudo, 965... What other blends are gone (say last 6mo) and what happened????

Re: Discontinued???
I'm not quite sure how to break the news to you, but apparently some space creatures came to earth and took up all the stock of some of our best tobaccos to bring back to their home planet as a cure for some kind of alien cancer they have. Ironic huh? Kills us, but saves them.


Just kidding. I don't know why, but all good things must come to an end, I guess.

I wonder if I wear a black jumpsuit, nike shoes, shave my head and sleep on a bunkbed they will come back for me on a comet? I will miss Escudo and never got to try Nightcap.

Wait, they don't make that anymore? Maybe I should buy an oz of every tobacco that has been around for a long time, just so I can try it in case it discontinues

It's my understanding that they still make it, it's just that there is no longer a distributor for the Dunhill brands to the US at this time.

Re: Discontinued???
If the country keeps going down the crapper I may be forced to begin some serious fear-mongering and exploiting the market with my 50-year supply of Escudo. I planned selling it for retirement but times change.

ps - nose and forehead oil really shines up a pipe better than anything.

Re: Discontinued???
Escudo is back - I have a new tin and an old tin. Now if I had a darn camera in this darn phone that worked, I'd show you guys. The label is different (bottom of tin) now - sez "Made in Denmark for Peter Stokkebye Tobaksfabrik A/S imported and distributed by Villiger Stokkebye International, Charlotte, NC. www.vsicigar.com".

Now this bit is new on the back, apparently its a new distributor? Old tin had "Distributed by Lane Limited, Tucker, GA". I hope so. I haven't smoked the "new" stuff yet, I have enough "old" stuff to last through the next prez election

I haven't tried that, but I heard somewhere to rub the threads of a lightbulb upside your nose before screwing it in.
I laughed til I tried it. Works great.
