John Cotton's Smyrna

[SpyridonSmyrna]

Hey gang ~

Long shot here. I'm looking for a tin of John Cotton's Smyrna. It seems out of production everywhere I look on the internet. Does anybody have a tin of it I could purchase or trade for?

At the least, has anybody tried it?

Thanks!

Back in the 1970s, John Cotton's #1, #2, and #1&2 were rather nice English blends. The company went out of business. The pipesandcigars.com folks purchased the trademark, and have since been releasing an endless stream of fast fashion blends. (They began with a rendition of John Cotton's #1&2, which was sort of in the ballpark, but burdened with humectants. Then that blend vanished.)

But the only primary source of that newly minted, old brand is pipesandcigars.com.

Agree - you can obtain hard to find blends if you are diligent and monitor this site.
