And I'm sure they will sell just as quickly.
Yep, and then when folks get them in hand and comment that they’re good, the WTB threads will start up.
Hell life’s too short to worry about it. Take the risk, if it doesn’t work out, use the same marketing to move them for what you got them for.
I'll take your word for it. I'm not too worried about missing out on it.
Totally. But some folks will ride the fence on a blend and then complain that they missed it. There’s hot irons that need striking. Not saying you specifically, it just never ceases to amaze me how people will pop up wanting to buy a blend after it’s been discussed on the forum for a week prior to selling out.
Oh don't get me wrong, if they offered a Virginia/Oriental with a significant proportion of Yenidje, I'd be all over that shit.
I know you’re not gonna hesitate if it’s something you think you’d like. Shit I bet you still have a pile of Sakura!
Your honor, I rest my case.
I definitely wasn’t talking about you. Like I said, I’m pretty confident if something catches your eye, you’re going deep in round 1. To be fair, I’m not really talking about anyone in particular, it’s just funny how that pattern always seems to happen.
Side note - I did see Pipestud selling HH Rustica for $45/tin over the weekend, so that limited edition MB marketing has legs.
I got you. I noticed that with the Burley London Blend. I like all the other roll cakes from MacB, and the Newminster rounds, so i don't see this one being anything other than quality.
For sure - and Sakura is literally THE perfect tobacco for that pipe. Even if you don’t like it, it’s nearly obligatory.
God Bruce could blast. What a talent.
Did I ever explain to you why I bought that pipe for Sakura?
You should have watched him do it, he could tell you what it was going to look like before he began blasting. Just incredible.?
You did. That’s why I’m saying there’s basically no other blend for that pipe.
I’m sure he could. Must have been quite a thing to see.
Yeah, absolutely. Let me find a Boomer themed pipe and I’ll buy 4lbs of @alaskanpiper new favorite blend, WCC’s Cap’n Boomer’s.
