Sutliff Tobacco has announced it will close its production and distribution facility in Richmond, Virginia. The move comes as Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) integrates Sutliff’s parent company, Mac Baren, into its business. Sutliff’s last day of production will be February 28, 2025. From then on, the Richmond facility will be the STG Assens factory. Sutliff will sell its remaining inventory from Richmond until it is depleted or March 31, 2024, whichever comes first.
STG has also decided to streamline its portfolio and maintain the following Mac Baren/Sutliff products below. All other Mac Baren/Sutliff pipe tobacco skus will be discontinued after existing inventories are sold and production ends on February 28, 2025.

Meanwhile, City of Palms, a distribution company in Florida, has already taken over distribution for Matilde, Patina, Drunk Chicken, and Lampert.
STG acquired Mac Baren Tobacco Company in the summer of 2024. Mac Baren was the owner of Sutliff Tobacco.
