Nording Hunters Blend Labrador

I am usually ahead of the "day late and dollar short" club, but I think I really screwed up. I bought 6 tins of this blend over a month ago and put it in the cellar as I had a Mason jar filled for my immediate use. I actually wrote on my note pad "order 6 more tins minimum" as I knew McClelland mixed and tinned this blend.
So off I go on my merry way doing what I had to do (that voodoo that I do so well.....sometimes). Earlier this evening I happened to have come across the note that I wrought to myself, and thought I better get on the stick. So I start with my saved pages for tobacco shopping and guess what, I can't find anyone (who I trust) who has it in stock. I am very disappointed in myself as I knew this was going to happen and still did not act upon my own warning.
I only hope that Nording finds another blender and soon. And I hope they can match or exceed what McClelland had for tobacco stock. This is/ was one of my go to blends, and with only 6 tins left, and no knowledge of any plans to reconnect with a good blender I will need to "ration" my stock so it will still be available to me when I am well into my 120's.
Should anyone have any news regarding this blend, or come upon any news in the future please drop me a message. Until then I will be in the "cellar" armed and with a helmet on, standing guard over my remaining cellared Labrador. So don't anyone get any ideas.......

Payless Cigars and Pipes (Boulder, Colorado) has the Labrador Blend in stock at $10.90 per 50 gram (1.75 oz.) "tin". With the kind "heads up" of Kmhartle, I contacted King Smoking Pipes and Cigars who had it, but was selling it for over $16.00 per. Personally they are off my list to EVER buy tobacco from them. That is price gouging "on steroids".
So if anyone else is bummed by the loss of this blend (temporary I hope?), hoping that someone takes over the blending for Nording, there apparently is still "some" in the retail pipeline. Just do me a big favor and do not deplete this supply point.
