Hi Guys,
I called JF Germain and Sons two days ago, and asked a number of questions -- I have spoken to the folks there before and they have been very helpful and candid. (Principally, I was wondering when bulk Penzance would be available again -- they claim a shipment is close at hand). I asked what, if any, flavoring is on Stonehaven -- the answer is Treacle.
They confirmed that Penzance and Margate lack flavorings.
Just thought you'd like to know. By the way, a few months ago, I called Samuel Gawith and asked about the XX twist tobacco -- they told me it is soaked in cooking oil and heated, and this is why it is so dark.
