All told, the swag was collected over several years. The EM, however, was a one shot fluke. Fortunately I'm fond of EM.

Stumbled on a tin of EMP a couple weeks ago and like it. It's got the tastes I like only in a mild manner. Still rather noobish so it's hard to describe the tastes.

Well, yes. I am something of a rat bastage. However, what with increasing taxes, product liability issues, more and more laws for the public defense, etc. it seemed like a matter of time before certain products with inherent value might become more costly or simply unavailable.

You should see my Penzance pile.

Funny you should say that Moo. I was just thinking this morning that if there's one thing we should all take from this thread its the knowledge that our own favorite tobacco producer could be next followed by a mad scramble to grab up existing stocks then *poof* SG is gone, Exoterica is gone, Solani is gone. You just never know what the future holds

I never thought I'd be able to buy two shares of Ford AND General Motors common for the price of a tin of Escudo. The world changes every day. GM for chewing gum prices and Balkan Sobranie for the price of gold.

Choose wisely, gwasshoppuhs.

I imagine it'll be a good investment over time.

Excellent point. I wish I had stocked up more on Elizabethan, 965, Ashton Old London Pebble Cut, Three Nuns, etc etc. I saw that stuff everyday for years and I was lulled into thinking it would be around forever.

Hi there,

I am going to Peter heinrichs store this week-end in Köln Germany. On their website they still sell all the Dunhill brands. better, especialy for those tobaccos i will drive to Köln this week-end. What is the brand news about being out off production ? Anyone ?
Cause if it really is, i'll have to get a huge stash for the next couple a decades

[Bassie]

Ow,..forgot,..their website :

www.pfeife.de

DH isn't out of production, they just don't have a US distributor since Lane gave up. it's hard to believe DH wouldn't just pick up another distributor, but i've heard they're wanting to distance themselves from the tobac industry & focus on "specialty goods". friggin' anti's are doing their best to ruin everything, stock up from overseas while ya can.

Was Lane only the distributor or were they also the American blender of Dunhill tobaccos?
I read, probably the same place you did, that tobacco related goods only account for 1% (if I remember correctly) of Dunhill's markets. Sounds like a demand (or lack there of) driven decision. I've also heard negative comments about the Dunhill shop in London. Seems Dunhill has set its own course.
I'd like to see Dunhill tabaks again but there were only a couple I liked anyway. If they fade into the mists of time, then so be it.
