I poked through Google and some forum searches..and searched the forum through Google..I couldn't find anything solid, so I will take a direct approach:

Is the Bear coming out of hibernation this year? Cheers!

I hope the Karens don't buy 50 tins each....so they'll leave some for the rest of us...
If enough buyers requested it to be regular production, they may listen. Any tin order I make will always be 10 tins, as it's pointless to pay a shipping cost equal to one or more tins. Even the fastest selling limited releases are in stock for thirty minutes or more on multiple sites.

Yeah, this is one special release that I can easily walk by. Just a classic case of a tobacconist saying some is rare and charging a very high price for. It may be very nice but nothing you couldn't get in another tin at a regular price.
The 2022 Sun Bear was $12.11 per tin at SP, so $.20 - $.50 more than regular production C&D tins. That’s not exactly “…a very high price…” in relative terms.
