Brown Sugar Flake

Those who rail at the small batches do so in vain. At least it seems so.

Pipe smokers rail at everything. It's a competitive sport.

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.

I got busy and I missed the window. Oh well.

The Country Squire still has some at $19.35 a tin.

Never had any so can't comment on the quality. I do know, however, that it is a favorite of Mick Jagger.

Well then, that settles it.

On a side note: how do you suppose that album got its name "Sticky fingers"? It was all that brown sugar.

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 haven’t seen anyone ask this, surprisingly enough, @JimInks have you tried the new incarnation of this?

I have not, but I sure would like to. I'm not buying tobacco (especially all the extra online taxes we have to pay where I live), so I don't know what the odds are for me.

Odds are 100% as soon as my tins arrive. I'll shoot you a PM when they get here.

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.

I happened to be at the computer for Watch City's "official" drop at noon and grabbed 5. I figured I can't lose, if I don't like it then my Secret Santa gift is taken care of well in advance.

Ernie at Watch City accidentally released it yesterday lol ... he did procure some more tins and will be putting them up next week and will send out an announcement when they are going to go up.

That seems elitist.lol

I went to sleep last night and figured to heck with it. Woke up this morning and got 5 tins before I left for work. I could have got more as there was no limit.

 

[BarrelProof]

I’m just lucky enough to live somewhere that makes their midnight only 8pm for me. I did what I usually do with this one, but I did manage to hold back just a bit.

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.
