Jeezus , imagine if SWR disappeared ...

Sir Walter Raleigh has become an integral part of life, since my diagnosis in April.

SWR has been made by STG for some time.

Announcement from Jeremy McKenna Sutliff President/CEO:

Sutliff trade announcement.
In North America, we will bring our passion for the pipe tobacco category together to refine our combined product offerings and make it easier to serve you.
Within the next six months, you will be able to order products from both portfolios from a single point of contact and receive them via a combined shipment from a single distribution center.
For now, it is business as usual. You will continue to order Sutliff products from my team, and STG products from your current representative. We will provide further updates as we complete the unification of the two companies.
As always, thank you for your partnership, and we look forward to improving our service to you in the future.
Sincerely,
Jeremy McKenna

Yes , and its quite good . They have been able to do a good job with any of the OTC blends they've acquired . Im not too concerned atm . Im acquiring an additional stash of MB Products but nothing crazy

With my luck I’ll stock up on the blends STG decides to keep . It’s sad what large companies do for money. No regard for the heritage and history of the blends and what the customers want.
