How Are These Still Available?

Ya caught me using old data from August: Top 10 Best-Selling Pure Virginia Pipe Tobaccos - https://www.smokingpipes.com/smokingpipesblog/single.cfm/post/top-best-selling-pure-virginia-pipe-tobaccos

The SG drop skewed the rankings.

Almost exactly 1 year ago, I ordered a bunch of Capstan Blue (and other things) from Estervals at $7.66 a tin. It was enough to make the shipping cost worth while. I just checked and it's running about $16.05 now. Ouch.

They were also the only place to buy pound boxes of it at one time.

For some reason I can only get prior rating from back in Spring but still not there in the top 11.

I was unaware, thank you.

Anything else worth looking at? And do they still ship to the US? I thought I read they stopped earlier this year (or switched carriers) and you tend to have a finger on the pulse. It was fun to add things until I hit the next shipping price tier.

I think I was typing when your other comment posted. I agree recalling it being in the back of the list and not near the top (and didn't mean to infer it was at the top).

Are you searching for the top 10 of any kind of tobacco? I see some English/Balkan blends in there.

The top 25 list from the wayback machine. All dates with snapshots are showing the same list from back in Spring.

Kentucky Bird and the Caribbean Blue line are fun.

Ah, okay. I’ve just been focusing on Virginia blends here.

First, I'm in no way a Shill for TP. They are selling 4 packs 4 year old Capstan for less money than you can buy 4 tins of fresh. Aged is $71.28, 4 fresh tins are $71.80. Yes, the 4 pack is a variety pack of the 4 Capstan blends but they're all excellent. Given how often Capstan is praised here, I'm surprised these are still around.

i just did my part to remedy the situation. thank you for the heads up!

 

[Architeuthis]

No way in hell am I paying more than $10/ounce for something as basic as Capstan, aged or no. Other than Harris, God rest his soul, I don't see a whole lot of clambering going on here about it.

Yeah, $17.81 per 50g tin didn't strike me as a deal either. Then again, I've already got plenty resting quietly in a dark closet that is older than 4 years...

Same. It's probably because I'm coming from the cigar world, but 3 years doesn't seem all that aged to me. Capstan blue is also a solid Virginia, but it doesn't blow my skirt up, either. For the price, I'll continue to stack Orlik Golden Sliced.

There's no Burley.....just....Virginia?

Who would smoke that???

It's a deal for two reasons. 4 years of age will provide 75% of more of the benefits of aging. Second, it's relative to the price of fresh tins as of today. Relative to the price two years ago? Not much of a deal. Unfortunately, my time machine is out of service at this time.

 

[UncleRasta]

I grabbed two sets of that.

 

[bluegrassbrian]

If I could get 4 tins of blue flake I'd order 2 sets.

That's likely the opinion that leads to this "close out" deal. Just something about the yellow that doesn't hit the same for me. Honestly never even tried the ready rubbed - though I would if someone had an open tin.

 

[Peter Turbo]

Picked up two sets as well, can't see how this isn't a deal considering a fresh tin is $18 online (before state tax) and close to $30 PER TIN at my B&M where I payed for my blue and gold tins last year. Got to support those local shops...I guess....

 

[The Amish Tyrant]

Considering regular pricing, the deal is good but just not for me. If in the market for Capstan, this sale is for you.

The ideal sale would be tins of your choosing instead of the current package, but I digress.

 

[Scottmi]

damn my local politicians. WA state so I can't get these after all.
anyway. 4noggins has some specials right now, notably the MB Navy Flake, SWR pouches for 2.99 each, and the Sillem's Blue (yeah, i like it!).

 

[FLDRD]

Being a newb with a weak cellar I jumped on this.

I would have done that in your position.
