Strang is no longer being made, right Jim?

I thought I remember seeing somewhere they weren't producing it anymore. I missed out on the previous group buys and when I went to try to order I couldn't find it on their site. I may have to see if anyone is willing to do some baccy swapping on the forum.

To stay on topic, it's Capstan from '89 in a Falcon tonight for me.

The question is still up in the air. Motzek is looking to retire and have somebody take over,  and he's back logged on Strang orders, which takes time to produce. Dunno what the fall out will be. I only have so much Strang left, and I'd have minus none if I gave it out to all the people who message me for a sample, so not knowing if I'll get more is leaving me with whatever I have here, which makes me very reluctant to trade any of it as it's my favorite tobacco made today. And being that it isn't cheap, I had to trade for what I have. It's too bad an American distributor couldn't take it on, but then again, enough couldn't be made for that to happen anyway. Durn it!
