Aloha,

Noooooo!!!!! HH Matured Virginia is one of my favorites.:ohmy: I guess I was right to stock up while I had the opportunity to. I purchased 3 ceramic containers with one pound sealed tobacco in each. I also purchased a few tins for when I travel. The tins are just about gone but I still have the vacuumed packed (my own seal around original bags) still stored in the reefer.
Guess I'm going to have to start looking for a new favorite Virginia to take it's place.

Yea more taste tests (as I like to explain it to the boss)

Mahalo,
Merry Christmas!!!
 
I didn't think Burley London Blend was ever an HH blend. It has been around for many decades, long before MacBaren came up with the HH blends.
 
I just ordered 2lb of BLB. I only recently discovered it and I really like it. It was just a nice, pleasant burley which will do quite well as a "not too complicated" smoke or if I want to blend with something else. I'm glad Golden Extra will still be around.

Yeah, it seems strange they'd discontinue BLB. It has been around for a very long time. Golden Extra is similar but seems to have more sweetener. One used to be able to buy 5-pound bags of BLB at some sites. Don't know if you still can, but if you like it you may want to pick up 5 pounds and store it in some Mason jars.

That's the plan. I'm somewhat leery of ordering 5lb at once, as it might have some trouble getting across the border. I usually try to order about a pound at a time, which seems to be fine.
 
Yeah, 5 lbs. may set off a major border alarm! I notice SP is still offering it at $146 for 5 lbs., so it may be worth a try.
