    Samuel Gawith (SG) and Gawith, Hoggarth, & CO (GH&C) blends periodically suffer from droughts. Usually it's their more popular blends, but occasionally even their more obscure blends get hard to find. I keep looking for SG Grousemoor and Sam's Flake, but I haven't found any in some time. Right now it looks like GH&C blends are pretty stable though - assuming you like the floral Kendal sauce.

    It’s appalling how many of my favorite tobaccos are “Currently out of stock” at SmokingPipes.

    Burning a bowl of G&H Louisiana Flake with a glass of delicious chardonnay in tow.
    Very nice combination indeed...

    I know what you mean. I'm trying to pick up some good Virginias so I don't have to open my McClelland tins right now.
    No FVF. No Essex Dark Flake. I've looked for the F&T blends I've seen you, and others, speak highly of.

    I swore that when FVF and St. James Flake come back in stock, I'm going to pick up 2 or 3 of the 250g boxes so I'm not caught this low again.
    I may have to crack open a tin of McClelland 40th Anniversary while I'm waiting it out.

    Have you had the Capstan Blue? It's in stock. I thought about grabbing a couple tins of that.

    First world problems. Uggggghhhhhhh.

    You know PS Navy Flake and Newminster 400 Navy Flake are hardly something to turn your nose up at once they've got a year or more age on them. Plus they're almost always available and cheap enough to stockpile.

    Sutliff Virginia Flake is a solid choice with cellaring too.

    Cool Breeze, I think you mean Wessex Dark Flake rather than Essex Dark Flake.

    I have a fair amount of Capstan Blue on hand, and it’s pretty good. But I like two F&T Virginia flakes better: Vintage, and Cut Virginia Plug. Smoking the Vintage right now. Personal preference, of course.

    Yes, I meant Wessex.

    I did stumble upon some good baccy today though.
    Was at my local B&M and found out they had a few oz of MClelland 2015 Virginia/perique flake left. So I got 4 oz of that. 2.5 oz went into a small Ball jar, and 1.5 oz will be enjoyed, starting right now.

    I will definitely put Newminster 400 and Sutliff VA flake on my short list.
    Thanks guys.
