In stock tobacco thread

It is interesting! The Cavendish and the Gros Michel (aka Big Mike) before it are/were both genetic clones. Because of mutations of that clone and weak defense against fungus, especially Panama Disease, we may see the same thing happen with the Cavendish as happened with the Big Mike. I’ve seen some reports that predict unless we find a suitable replacement for the Cavendish there may not be anymore “natural” bananas sometime in the next decade. There will probably still be GM Bananas that have been modified to be disease resistant.
There are sites that sell the Gros Michel for roughly $65 for 2-4lbs. Not sure if it’s with it, but I’m always tempted. There is a banana that had a vanilla custard/ice cream flavor as well.

Not really an "in stock" but Ernie at Watch City announced the prices will be going up soon. If youre on the fence now is just as good a time before the hike.

ive heard some people grumble that it wasnt what they thought it would be. Flavor and all
They had samples they were handing out, enough for a short bowl. I declined. I do want to get a tin when it's available though, just looking at it and smelling it, I bet it ages beautifully!
 
Half & Half in the pouches is out of stock at SP, but WV Smoke Shop has them; I just ordered one. They also have the Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match. I picked up a 4 oz. bag.

I was able to order some Wessex Gold Brick Virginia Plug from The Country Squire. No one else seems to have it.
