Where is all the Sam Gawith?

Where in the world is all of the Sam Gawith?

Full Virginia Flake was my favorite Virginia before I discovered the awesomeness that was McClelland. Well, since they decided to retire, I thought I'd just hop online and order some of my old favorite. No one has any!

I don't remember ever having trouble getting it before. Hopefully this is just a temporary issue.

I've been trying to get a couple tins of it for cellaring for a while now too and no one ever has it in stock when looking.

It's hit and miss for sure. I've been looking for Happy Bogie forever. It's seldom in stock anywhere but this at least is nothing new. Maybe availability coincides with the growing season somehow. Hope that's all it is. Also, with McC going belly up, it's going to put more demand on the other producers. Glad I have a crapload of tobacco on hand Still, I only have about half lb of Happy Bogie... it's probably all I really 'need' but you know how it goes...

I found some FVF on a European site. It's available, but the exchange rate puts it at about $24 a tin. That's too rich for my blood. I'll wait

You just need to stop being so picky. I just bought a box of Navy flake and a box of Kendall cream flake. Also bought 500g of Louisiana flake but part of that is back ordered.

As I understand it from a few other boards this is nothing new with them. They sporadically put out inventory and the more popular ones always sell out before the next batch hits here in the U.S. I imagine that may only get worse without McClelland around.

Yeah, I did see some Navy Flake. Smokingpipes I believe.
Good stuff for sure.

Stop looking for it, and it will pop back up right after you've spent your funds on something else!

I have several tins of FVF on hand. All 5 - 10 years old. I don’t smoke much of it nowadays — too hard to keep lit.

You might look for Wessex Dark Flake — a near clone of FVF.

More generally, I’m seeing a lot of my fave tobaccos “Currently Out of Stock” on SmokingPipes.
