I've only been at this for a few weeks and H&H and C&D have both come out with a limited run.
The marketing of limited runs is in almost every other interest of mine. Good to know it's a general practice. FOMO usually takes hold and I buy, just like they designed it. haha. I guess I can throw them in a box and open them later when I know what I'm supposed to be tasting.

I'm not trying to be strict or an Ahole. It just makes sense to my pragmatic thought process. And doing the opposite defies any logic I can conceive of. The vast majority of people seek pleasure and avoid pain. One of the fundamentals of Psychology. So I struggle to understand why someone would click on a thread subject that "batters" them? That's like eating a hamburger, when you hate it, and complaining the entire time. Why not just order chicken nuggets or something you like?
I'm kind of in that boat right now myself. Grabbing multiples -- like many in this thread -- is just a bad idea for me because I honestly don't know how well I'll have an affinity for something new, especially if it is a Burley-forward blend, which tend to be too heavy and heady for my palate. I've purchased Pennington Gap and Sansepolcro, intrigued by the descriptions. Despite liking many things about both blends (especially the Sansepolcro), I'm glad I only got 1 tin of each. Though if I had extras of Sansepolcro, yeah, I could probably get a good trade for that now.
They're saying there's cavendish in it as well. I'm thinking it might be a little on the sweeter side.
I looked at this and immediately translated. The First guy says he doesn't know if its good lol only if he buys it ! I thought they were supposed to be reviews! ?
Looks the Chinese are buying it up and reviewing already! LOL ?
Gee, this suddenly feels like Alibaba... LOL ?

I ignored the 2nd and 3d Chinese reviews (the yare the same anyway), and bought 5 tins. I hope Smokingpipes will delete them; with a help of a translator it gives us: "Welcome to the Kirkie Dog Pasture Show in the toilet at Station B". Very innovative approach in tobacco reviewing.
Yea the sp reviews sections are pretty much a joke unfortunately. From people leaving one star because theyre mad its a limited release to people who've never tried it leaving 5 stars its not very reliable.
Google Translate for the 2nd and 3rd which happens to be the same person/spammer. LOL
If this wasn’t a troll, maybe the actual interpretation is, this is dung in a toilet at the train station. LOL
Choo Choo All Aboard! LOL ?

I couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger but I came painfully close. I’ve got too much tobacco on hand and not enough time to smoke them to add another. I hope those who bought some will let us know if the hype meets the reality.
Sat this one out so I am sure it will be stellar.
Yeah, I can't do it anymore either. Too much on hand that I'll likely not live long enough to smoke and I can't justify the expense anymore.
I'm just a codger who likes the simple and basic. I can't afford to chase these things and I have little inclination. I hope you enjoy it.
I do like the occasional burley or Oriental blend but I also sat this one out. I went pretty deep on multiple years of the small batch CRF but haven't really searched out any other small batch releases.
Someone in another forum pointed out that the grade of red Virginia (SM2-18) used for this blend is the exactly the same as that used for last year’s run of Carolina Red Flake and CRF w/perique. Just wanted to pass this along, because the more you know….
Okay, I see what's going on here. Well if you're not buying then I'm not buying either!
I was just tracking my package now. I am anxious to taste it also. I do wish that I had Jiminks powers of translating smoke into words. Unless he gets a shipment before me, you all will have to suffer one of my reviews.
