贴一段有人跟Samuel Gawith 询问飞机历史的回复：
Good morning Mr xxxxx,
Thank you for your interest in our Squadron Leader and also for your loyalty to the brand.
The history of the brand is quite thin but over the years through my own interest and looking at old correspondence, I can offer the following information.
We are reasonably certain that the first production was in the mid 30’s. I have attached a picture of the original tin we used which, as you can see, was one of a hinge lid design. It is reasonable to assume that the tobacco was packed into a waxed paper bag to preserve its integrity.
The ORIGINAL recipe was quite different to today inasmuch the we produced two different types of tobacco.
Type one was , as today, a mixture, but the recipe included a dose of Louisiana Perique in addition to the Virginias, Latakia and Turkish tobaccos.
The second recipe was in fact a Curly Cut tobacco. In that period a major part of our tobacco production focussed on Twist tobacco, or Rope, for the mining and quarrying industries in the UK. As a natural progression of this production, we developed SQL in this format and cut the tobacco into discs, similar to our Cabbies or Escudo and Three Nuns tobacco.
I have no information as to when we finished this production but, for the purpose of economical viability due to the escalating costs of Perique, SQL continued to be made as it is today with Bright and steamed Virginias, Turkish and Latakia.
This did not reduce sales for us and, today, SQL is still our number one mixture.
In 2008 I produced a limited edition run of 500 tins for the Chicago Pipe Club using the original ingredients. I took this to Chicago and believe it or not, sold out of the 499 tins ( kept Number 1) in a morning.
This year we are planning to re-produce the original brand of SQL for, again, a limited run, such is the appeal and demand for us to do so. This brand will be exclusive to the major on-line retailer in the US so keep the eyes open and treat yourself.
I have attached a photograph of tin number 1 of the 2008 run and, as you can see, the characteristic golds and browns have changed to a beautiful dark tobacco which is still moist and delicious to the palate.
I do hope that I have enlightened you with this limited amount of SQL history.
Best regards
Bob |
