Its a fact of basic marketing that big part of being human is to desire what you cant easily obtain/ what others are scrambling for. This feature in humans has been used in the 20th century to create huge movements in human populations. Let's just say that there is at least some consciousness of this flaw on the part of the marketers, here. And in this case someone has earned his bonus.

On the other hand, a good solid VaPers is very nice to smoke. Brown sugar not withstanding.

If anybody was looking to buy a pipe from KBV he has individual tins reserved for premium add on's for some items, from what I could see it was only available to add on with pipes.

I missed it, started checking at 10am my time. I mean is 10am to late to do something in America? LOL 😆

Bloody hell, the stuff is gone already! :(

If someone knows where, or has a few tins to sell, please let me know.

I have Anomalous, I’d also trade for.

Of course, the benefit there is that a great many will not have smoked it, will have no clue what the earlier incarnation tasted like, will have no point of reference with the earlier stuff, and take this one on its own merits.

It's like with a great many "famous" blends that change hands a few times and/or get resuscitated. They aren't the same flavors that made the blend famous. It's just a tin with a famous name and tin art printed on it, often housing a pretty pedestrian replacement. Magical thinking being the predominant form of thinking, people instantly impart great quality and status on these changelings.

People like moi, who smoked the good stuff when it actually was the good stuff are at a disadvantage, because we know what famous "whatsis" tasted like when it was still made by "whosis", and that the new stuff isn't even a pale imitation.

Sometimes ignorance IS bliss.
Glad I did my May 2018 order from DPS. The day before it was delivered they posted their new ban on US shipments.
