New C&D produced Drugstore blends for B&Ms to replace their bulk Sutliff blends. Most of them sound really good. Maybe @Ruffinogold should give them a shot and let us know what he thinks. Sounds right up his alley. And hopefully, C&D can deliver.

Id try any match . There been very few that were real close . Most are decent and capture a snapshot of the blend , which is fine . Some have been so far off its almost comical . Id like a match to middles cherry and sugar barrel ... now that would be fantastic !! I can tank @Piping Abe for making sure I got hooked up with each of those last year . I was down to 1 tub of cherry , which was depressing for me

Excellent. I knew someone would fill the void. I see some blending potential with these offerings.

After rereading that ^^^^ I realize its not " match " stuff ,so much as its more a new line to help fill the void left by the absence of the massive number of blends that have now disappeared . Im sure they are worth a try but also Peter Stokkebye has some pretty killer blends . God willing they wont be bought out by STG any time soon but I wouldn't doubt it

Well , they didnt mess any of their blends up . The PS blends that I smoke , Ive seen no change in , so I guess they are doing a good job . They did a great job with keeping Lane products the same and they made half and half like it was before Pinkerton had it and made it taste like Listerine for many years . I just wish they wouldnt have axed so many of MB and Sutliff blends . I mean , no more Golden Extra ... its freakin tragic
