Mac barren

[TonyN]

So it turns out, confirmed by my management team just now, that Mac Baren and Sutliff will both in fact be shut down. We hadn't heard anything concrete, but my manager just spoke to our CEO and he confirmed it to be true.

Both the Mac Baren and Sutliff factories are indeed being closed and their blends (as far as we know) will be discontinued.

I guess you can now forward this information instead.

I apologize for being the bearer (or confirmer) of bad news

Big names in pipe tobacco, the demand must have declined a lot in the last 15 years.
