I've been told by a number of pipe smokers that Samuel Gawith tobaccos are exceedingly rare these days. I've only ever bought a tin of picrel by them and its probably my favourite English blend. Do you think the company's winding down production? Should I buy and cellar as much SG tobacco that I can find? There's a tobacconist across town that has a lot of their stuff on display but it might just not be selling.

Quite fond of this, Early Morning Pipe and Virginia flakes. Was walking by a tobacco shop in my neighborhood this evening and noticed they had the Peterson EMP, Nightcap, My Mixture 965 and Standard Mixture. Which should I try?

IMO aromatics are shit but that's just my cup of tea. Blood Red Moon seems to be the most popular aro blend online (it's a chocolate and cherry accented Virginia and Burley blend). Check out a brick & mortar store if you're lucky enough to live near one and ask about aromatics. Vanilla, chocolate, cherry and liquor (whiskey, rum, bourbon) are the most common flavor additives for aromatics so it depends what you're into.

For me, it's Squadron Leader or Charatan Virginia flake
