I'm a very big fan of the soft licorice you produce, and wish to know if it would be possible to purchase any. I live in Malta, and the only way we've been able to get any of the licorice is by asking some friends who live in the U.K to bring us a packet when they visit Malta. Would you be able to sell us any from your part, or maybe tell us who are the agents who buy it in the U.K, so as to buy it from them directly.
Regards,

Hello...I would like to say your Licorice is the best I have tasted in
years. I am fussy about black licorice and haven't had any in a long
time...Until I found yours...The absolute best.
Thankyou

Do you export the black opal licorice to South Africa? My sister is in Ireland and she sent us some of it and we simply love it.
My sister in law is in New Zealand and is coming to South Africa in June. If I could let her know where to get some of this licorice it would be nice. Or if we can order it online, would you please sent me the website. I have been surfing the net but without an luck.
I would love to get a reply

Dear Ron Hamilton,
I am looking for the Black Opal Raspberry licorice. I have always hated licorice until I had some of the Raspberry licorice, now I am an addict. I work at Target so I found it there. Then they discontinued the Raspberry(and the Strawberry is nowhere near as good)and now they have discontinued all of the Black Opal products. They have brought in a very inferior replacement. Are there any other stores that carry your products?? Online I can purchase it for twice the price of Target, but I am hoping for a closer retailer. You need to discuss this with those Target execs!!
Thanks,
Kim W

Hi my name is Kimberly Mollino. I live in West Nyack, NY. The target it seems to have discontimued selling your licorice. Can I buy it directly from you? I am really addicted to it. It is my favorite candy. I really appreciate it again.

Hi. My husband loves Black Opal Licorice, and I've always bought it at our
local Target. The other day I went in to buy some for him and they had
discontinued it!! They are now carrying another brand licorice instead,
which he says is O.K., but not as good as Black Opal. Please tell me that
there is some other place nearby where I can purchase it! I live in
Richmond, Virginia. My area code is 23233.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Ron,
Thanks for your quick response! Target is making a big mistake--my husband
has tried every brand of licorice imaginable, and he thinks yours is the
best by far. I always bought him the "Traditional" black licorice. I think
the bag was around 10 oz. I would definitely be interested in the pricing
of a case.
Thanks again.

Hello there: I recently traveled to the nearest Target store to me
in Wausau, Wisconsin, where I normally buy your product. To my
dismay, they no longer carry your product but have replaced it with
another brand licorice. Is this across the board or is it just this
particular Target? I was so sad as I enjoy your licorice immensely
and it would be upsetting if Target were to stop carrying it.
Thanks, Debbie Taillefer

Subject: Need a new vendor for your licorice
Mr. Hamilton,
I e-mailed you a little while back about how much my family & I enjoy your
licorice. We enjoyed it so much that I began taking it to my part-time job
with our local AAA baseball team and the people in the press box went NUTS
when they tried it. I write you today a bit saddened by some recent
developments. The Target store where I used to buy the licorice is no
longer carrying it. My family and the press corps for the team will not be
happy. Do you know any way I can acquire a supply? If I needed to buy it
by the case, I would be willing to do so. I'm hoping to make it the
official team licorice if I can!
Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Hamilton,
I am a big fan of Black Opal Licorice and have been very pleased that it was
carried in target stores in the USA. Sadly, I went to Target yesterday to
"get my fix" and it was nowhere to be found... Instead they had another brand
Liquorice. JUST DOES NOT COME CLOSE TO BLACK OPAL! Please tell me this was
an isolated event and that I will soon find Black Opal back on the shelf
(hopefully just a short term lack of availability??)
Sincerely
