Bitch , Moan , Cry and Groan ......

So , I went into the " cellar " a little while ago and i was figuring to smoke some MB GE as usuasl . Then I thought ... Man , I smoke alot of this stuff ( it's my go to btw ) and I think I'll smoke something a little special being I'm home from a work trip that popped up on me right after I got home from a work trip .
My eye scans the awesomeness that is my stash ( it's really not so big , so ya know) and lands on McClelland Tawny Flake .. which only reminds me of the disaster that is their recent closing down .............. and that's when it began .... the bitchin .
Man , I really liked Tawny Flake a lot .. like alot alot . It . Like others that I liked alot .. freakin gone .( that read like trump speaks , minus the word man .. just sayin ) .
So here's my bitch moan cry groan list . I'm not looking for sympathy and there are currently other blends available that I enjoy , though they are becoming less available sadly . Some are available but not never available online anymore . It sucks
Here's my list of blends that I really hit hard for a tine and they got yanked . Hell , I'll even write in chronological order of when I smoked them . These were favorites
Argosy . Very similar to captain black dark . It doesn't hurt that it's gone but it was my first
London Dock . Such a unique blend that no one has come close to . They try and fail
Edgeworth Ready Rubbed . Thankfully , sutliff does as good job . It just lacks depth compared to the original
Amphora Brown . The new version is pale
Edgeworth Slices ... God's gift to mankind . God isn't gifting anymore in regards to slices of this kind ( because Wessex Burley Slice might as well be gone too ) It was the pinnacle along with .....
Three Nuns ..... omg , what a blend . I like the new version ok , but like the Edgeworth rr , it lacks depth of flavor in comparison . There's no " bang "
Dunhill Standard Mixture Medium . I loved the Murray's version . It was one of the few " English " blends I've enjoyed
Durinhg the years while enjoying those favorites , I smoked otc to break things up . The amount of off blends thst are gone is a horrid thought and shameful . I'm glad a few are gone because they may have sped up ther downfall of man they were so bad.. but many were damn good . I mean Walnut , Sugar Barrel , the Kentucy Clubs etc ... damn
Of recent decades , as my luck would have it , I fell in love with MB Latakia ( the now gone disc version ) . It was incredible , truly . For Christmas and my birthday , my wife would buy a sleeve of tins and it was always such s sight ... I burned through tins of those and loved every moment . Gone .
Other recent favorite have been McClellend # 24 and Tawny Flake ... Gone .
Favorite blends that are favorites and still made ( supposedly ) ...
Germains 1820 ( a perfect blend ) , Germains Royal Jersey Perique ( another perfect blend ) , McConnell Scottish and latakia flske , most any F&T flake , Sg Firedance , the wessex burley flake , their virginia flakes and disc blends .... blends by Dan Tobacco etc ... God , I could rattle on and on . So many blends get talked about t hen disssappear
Thank God for Mac Baren . It doesn't seem like they ever get affected by the hoard bug or whatever . They keep me happy
I'm envious of those that dig GLP, H&H and C&D stuff . They don't have supply issues so much and I'd be all over them if I found them worth smoking
There ya have it ... my official " crying " rant
There are good blends out there that I do enjoy but I'm afraid to taslk about them because I think I'm a curse to a blends existence
I swear, if anyone replies with .... oh , there's stuff out there still , there's no need to cry about it ...... whatever , I get it , but this is a Bitch , cry . Moan and groan thread and optimism isn't welcome
