What the hell’s going on with Samuel Gawith and you? I’ve been waiting months to order from you. But your not having any SG on the shelf has stopped me. Sure, i suppose I could order from another online company. But after standing by and watching you and Tom struggle and what not, I try to keep my loyalties to my poor, fellow, no-longer-free americans. Please tell me this agony will end soon, by gum!
I think he’s trying to get the 25g tubs of SG. 
I can’t/wont speak for Dave, but my experience dealing with SG was the most frustrating/annoying experience I’ve ever had with a supplier. I’ve had a small business of some kind for about the last 30 years. In all those years, dealing with many hundreds of suppliers, SG was the worst. These people could care less whether they sell product or not. Tom
I remember visiting their stand at last year´s Intertabac. The friendly SG rep just continued to watch the hall dome, despite me greeting him and he didn´t make a single response. That was quite bizarre. I mean, they went there to do business, and after all, I work in tobacco wholesales (well, we don´t import, so it was pure personal interest, but he couldn´t know that). I don´t care too much for SG anymore. Maybe I´ll retry the one or other snuff if available in decent containers, but they´re clearly the last in line for me.
I think their snuff is crap anyway.
Gave my Scotch Black away - nasty stuff.
Irish D Lite was not bad.
I like Irish D Lite too. But it’s very plain & simple and would probably be hard to ‘screw up’ for them. I’ve definitaely seen a decline in quality with their pipe tobaccos in recent years, and I know that alot of pipe tobacco sellers have had the kinds of problems to which Tom was referring.
Yep, That’s probably why their 1792 flake pipe tobacco is hard to find in the US based web shops.
Yeah, all of their pipe tobacco is really hard to find now days. And when it arrives, it’s gone in no time.
I was a patron of SG’s weed for years, really liked their pipe tobacco and was happy to buy from such an old and iconic company. Recently my supplier told me that they could no longer get baccy from them. So, I had to hunt around for a replacement and found 4noggins. Way better tobacco. Way better. The Lord works in strange and mysterious ways.
That’s really saying something too, wildwilliam. One of these days, I’ll try their houseblends you were telling me about.
Listen to all the SG pooh poohs! lol
i hated the SG cherry snuff… i gave it away…
I love SG St. James Flake pipe tobacco, but I’ve learned to snatch up a pound or so whenever it’s available, because it so rarely is. They have very good products, but a serious problem with the management of their distribution network.
saucy_jack _“Listen to all the SG pooh poohs! lol”_Yes SG, please listen!
@iggy: so are you saying I’m an idiot or that SG sucks? lol
Emailed SG from the uk a few times recently but no reply. Love their black coffee but have to be very carefull because of the tap box drying out problems. Only people that seem to have it nice and fresh is snuff.me.uk.
@saucy_jack: I think he’s trying to say SG needs to get their shit together, I’m down to my last pound of 1792 over here! And the only people who have it in stock is in the UK and they overcharge bigtime, 45 pounds for a 250g box that costs 25 US across the pond, and the stuffs made in the UK you’d think it would be cheaper wouldn’t you?
@n9inchnails: yes, i know. you’re both quite right. i have quite a bit of SG “cellared” so the pipe end I’m not worried about. But damn I need more of their snuff. They are weird businessmen, I won’t deny it. i emailed them once and they practically called Tom a liar. But living in a decaying society doesn’t help matters, either.
