If you missed it, just buy WhiteKnight. Less expensive and much closer to actual Balkan Sobranie.
I only wish I'd found that to be the case. Last year I opened a tin that had 5 years on it. Absolutely hated it. Couldn't finish a bowl of it. Tossed out the rest of the bowl, scrubbed out the pipe to get rid of any lingering effects and divided the tin, giving it away to several people here.
Going to open a Tin up this weekend(and WhiteKnight)..In the mean time I will sign up for Secret Santa 2018 and will offer 2 Tins of Sobranie.
Well neither of them exactly float my boat these days, but I found WhiteKnight a closer profile to the old stuff than Germain's in an ABC test.
I think it's about the tin art. People are willing to spend an extra $20 for that blurry reproduction of the tin art.
I bet you could grow a mean bonsai in either of these blends.

Just got my restock email from Home | Chicago's Pipe, Cigar & Tobacco Store | Iwan Ries & Co. - https://www.iwanries.com/ !!!! Limit of 3 per customer. Who knows how long it will be available.
The hype around this blend is astounding. I think it's pretty good, better than average, but nothing super special. In one way, I find the hype annoying, but in another, I'm glad that there's enough of a craze, even if only a very limited craze, about pipe smoking that people are buying up these blends.
I have been placing calls to my local b&m tobacco shops. Cigar and pipe, who have distribution with arango and asking them to order blends they offer such as Sobraine esoterica etc. I dont think the stress of crossing your fingers and carting an item is worth it. Plus you get to support a local shop and get the phone call for first crack at the drop. 
Tobaccopipes had a drop of this today ^ ^ grabbed a tin. Good thing the phone wasn't on silent this morning .
