[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 403216, member: 3"] When the manufacturer changes, so does the tobacco. At least that's been my experience. A favorite blend is never the same. It tries, but it can't be. Every time Dunhill tobacco changed manufacturers the changes were obvious. Now that so many tobaccos have been condensed down to just a handfull of manufacturers it has become a rather silly exercise trying to find something special and keep it (unless you hoarded it when you found it, before the manufacturer changed). You can easily discern MacBaren from K&K, and from Stokkebye, and an old British blend now made by one of these is only that blend by name. Not that Peterson tobacco was ever a classic old British blend, it's always been outsourced. I was given a tin of Rattrays Brown Clunee several years ago, it had some age on it at the time too. It was glorious stuff. I recently bought a couple of tins of Brown Clunee and it bore absolutely no resemblance to the old stuff. It was pretty good, but was obviously only Brown Clunee by name. But, in this day and age, we're lucky anybody is trying to make a decent pipe tobacco at all. [/QUOTE]
