Have they stocked it or what? Supposed to be released on the 10th. I called the 11th and they didn't have it yet.

Fuggettabouttit guys, as soon as it hits I am going after all of it. If they don't have a limit, none of you get any. :nana:
Seriously though, I am just ordering one tin of the Capstan Blue and Gold flakes to see how they are. I am sure since it is Mac Baren involved, supply issues will not be too much of a problem. Thankfully it is not one of the other European mfgs who have no clue how to keep their customers supplied.

So am I going to be the only one ordering the ready rubbed? I'm still having some fun packing my flakes so I'll start with the ready rubbed.

I wanna try a tin of each flake myself too. I'm soon going to be trying my first flake tobacco, and first virginia at that, Orlik Golden Sliced. If I like it I'll order some of this awesome looking Capstan stuff, I hear its somewhat similar.

I've heard so much about the blue capstan that I can wait to try it...
I'm curious if people would recommend that I try the flake or the mix first?

Good to hear,
I am a flake fan - a flake was my second ever tobacco. The process around getting flake ready was always appealing in a deliberate sort of way.

I got my eye on you, Harris. This is going to be a race to the finish and may the best man win the Three Nuns.

Yeah, I got the email too. I ordered, but was a little put off by the price. I was only planning for one to try anyways for now...

I got a tin of Blue Flake and a tin of Three Nuns. The Three Nuns more to see how it compares to Villiger 1888 Cocktail Hour rather than to experience the VaPer blend it was in the days of yore.
-Jason
*EDIT* - I'd like to point out that due to my states egregious taxes on tobacco products, with shipping the order for the two tins works out what it would cost me to two tins of Mac Baren blends at my local B&M.

Are there any news of the "new" Mac Baren blue and yellow (the former Capstans?)
