List of Discontinued Blends?

[Vrbas]

Anyone care to enlighten me/us on all the memorable and outstanding blends that have been discontinued? I'm sure a number of us could benefit from knowing up front which tobaccos, more importantly, are not available anymore so we can either a) cry over it b) look back in retrospect and honor a fine leaf..... oh, and stop looking for it

Would be good to know too because you might just run across some of it.

Dunhill.....2,999 still to be added to the list me thinks...too many too mention I suspect, I also suspect many where not as good as some say.

You're probably right there; I have fond memories of Flying Dutchman from back in the '70s, but have been assured that it's just my memory, not the actual tobacco...

What gives guys? Are we going to start an on going list?

Personally, at age 68, I like to see one. It may help to remind me of the ones I liked and have forgotten about.

I'll start with a few that have been discontinued within the last 5 years or so. There are plenty, but I'll just mention a few to get this started:

Edgeworth Sliced
St. Bruno Flake
Player's Digger Flake
Dunhill Royal Yacht
HOW Revelation
Japan Tobacco's Momoyama

Country Doctor
Cookie Jar
Sobranie (white, 759, #10)
Sullivan Powell's Gentleman's Mixture
Bengal Slices
Brindley's Mixture
Lane's Medal of Honor and Crown Achievement
The Murray & Sons trio of Parson's Pleasure, Barney's and Punchbowle
Schermerhorn Flake
I think Ashton Types 1-6 are discontinued but not sure
Dobie's Four Square
All the Drucquer & Sons blends
The four A & C Petersen Caledonian blends plus their Virginia Flake
Amphora Cesare Borgia (tasted like shite anyway)
Gallaher Rich Dark Honeydew

That's all I can think of for now

After one year of forums frequency, I still don´t understand if Dunhill's are discontinued or not...
Also, is St. Bruno flakes discontinued?

I understand some brands are not available in the US, but Dub mentioned Dunhill and I'm puzzled by it, as I though Dunhill's were still being produced and sold in Europe.

London Dock...maybe had only 2 or 3 pouches in the '70's but it was a nice smoke.

Larsen No80
Olsen no.7000

My first smoke: King Arthur by thepiperoom. All the roomies loved the room note. Best described as a forest floor strewn with wild berries.

I can still get St Bruno Flake here in the UK.

But these are long gone:

Digger Flake
Redbreast Flake
Whiskey Flake (as it used to be, not as it is now)
Sherwood Flake
Caledonian Virginia Flake
Godfrey's Grand Cut

I'm sure there are others that I have forgotten....
