Where did the old Altadis brand end up?

I recently hauled out a jar from a few years back of Altadis Balkan II, and was reminded of what a nice smoke that was. I know Altadis got purchased  by one of the larger groups, but I don't remember who. Did Altadis end up under the STG umbrella? Or is it eleswhere?

@judandhispipe If i remember right Sutliff is now producing the Altadis blends.  Easiest way I know how to look is i bought Frosty Mint (OMG) when it was made by Altadis and if you look it up on tobaccoreviews.com and to purchase it, it is now Sutliff

AltadisUSA is still in business and is still producing premium and not so premium cigars. There is still bulk pipe tobacco with the Altadis brand name being produced and its available through places like JRCigars, 4Noggins, Cupofjoes, etc. In 2013, the Mac Baren (which apparently owns Sutliff) acquired the Pipe Tobacco Division of AltadisUSA  

Here's a link to some interesting information on this.

Correct @pappyjoe. Altadis is now under Mac.

Thanks,fellas. Been so much movement I couldn't remember.

PipeProfessor

No problem @judandhispipe. I only fear that with the new regs there will be much more movement ahead.
