Tha ks for all the replies.
Probably mist be really the popularity of the blend that drives up the price...
Any recommendation what to try next from HU?
I had Zulu, Fayum, Directors cut and Brullende Leeuw already.

Personally I recommend buying more directors cut before the price goes up.
Try some dark moor. It’s pretty good.

So the "best VaPer" is a 95% accurate taste replacement for stockton, which contains.... no perique :).

I will say, smoking a bowl of 2022 Director's Cut right now I'm not noticing nearly as much perique as I remembered, the kentucky is much more pronounced now. If you asked me to describe it I would not classify the current blend as a vaper.

Dark fired was subbed in for Perique in 2018 without telling Hans about it.

They cut back on the sub but didn’t restore the Perique.

Years ago, Director’s Cut was no more expensive than any other HU blend. With the high mark up, increased production costs are not really a factor. You pay more because you are not offered a choice if you want to smoke Director’s Cut.
