I used to use Ohio Blue Tip matches for all my pipe-lighting needs many years ago, but then one day they simply vanished from the stores. Since then, I have been using Diamond matches, and wondered whatever happened to the Blue Tips. I read at some point that the Diamond company had bought the Ohio Blue Tip company and that was why the Ohio Blue Tip brand name had disappeared.
But here it is again. Unfortunately, they had only this one box of strike-on-box matches (I prefer strike anywhere) that bears the old company logo. The rest of the boxes had a picture of a bulldog(?!) on them. The supermarket where I bought them still had their usual stock of "green" Diamond matches as well.
It was nice to be able to buy a box of Blue Tips again, even though these are the large "kitchen match" style and I usually use the smaller wooden matches for pipe lighting.
