Never smoked Cringle Flake, so no upvote from me. Besides, Pegasus died so someone has to pay.
I do have a tin of 1792 Flake inbound. Who knows? I might join the 1792 bros, but not the "unobtainium bros."
I don't have any unobtainium. At least it wasn't unobtainium when I bought it. Have you bought any limited release small batch blends, or KBV releases? Those would fit the unobtainium label, right?
It's true that I have a fair amount of stuff that's no longer made, like McClelland, but it wasn't unobtainium when I bought it and I take no responsibility for it going extinct.
Esoterica wasn't a problem for me to find and buy at $35 bucks a bag, plus or minus. Evidently that's unobtainium as well. It just stuff I bought from a few B&M/s, no fuss, no muss. Of course, I was a good customer to those B&Ms, paid extra for tobaccos bought at a B&M rather than online, so as a good customer I got taken care of, something that only Iwan Ries does for their on line customers.
Haven't tried 1792 as I'm not a huge nicotine fan, but any blend that's been around that long has to have something going for it.
