Great straight line on so many levels.

That's because they would release them at 12:00 noon or 10:00 or 11:00 AM... Then everybody complained that " I can't buy it because I was at work - by the time I got off it was all gone..."
I think the Millenials were blamed for buying up all the small batches then... Dang kids with part time jobs layin' on their smartphones all day long bought my small batch out from under me...
How many units were available for sale of the pounders?

The ultimate pipe tobacco Pump 'n' Dump. Laudisi understands the psychology of limited editions, small batches, and FOMO and is skillful at leveraging it. Not to say some of it isn't good, but the big buildup and cheap packaging in bulk quantities enabled them to make a quick buck on a blend which may or may not be any good at all.

Well, that’s more than I thought would be available. Jeremy & da boys did fine on this one as all their small batch jobs. ?

I just don't know enough yet to even formulate a guess on taste to spend a significant amount of money on 1 pound of tobacco I haven't tried so it doesn't really ruffle me, but I agree middle of the night isn't all that convenient - still, it helps with the drama that helps with the sellout, more power to 'em, lol.
Obviously 1000 people didn't agree with you.
I didn’t buy but $60 is pretty cheap to take a gamble on for some enjoyment. The cost savings on packaging is pretty clearly passed to the consumer because if you bought (8) 2oz tins it would be in the $90s range. I look at a limited release as like a fun money purchase.
I still like the concept and agree with others that it’s great seeing some companies doing different things.

Dang, new to the chase and was too late. Honestly, I knew it was the 1st, but completely forgot until this morning. I missed out. Reading the posts, I saw these go fast, but I didn't expect THAT fast. All part of the show and hobby
When I had my early morning coffee and checked SP, they were all gone. I'm not too bummed out as I was in two minds anyway. I was surprised it had gone - thinking it an ambitious experiment. I guess many of us underestimated Laudisi a touch!
In the end that was a clever piece of marketing. They sold 1000lbs in a few hours. They must have saved a wee bit not having to pack 8000 cat food cans too. I expect this won't be the last time they do this, although they probably don't want the novelty to get old.
In the end, all the hype and activity is good for the pipe smoking world - get people chatting and buying tobacco they will never smoke.......

No matter what time of day they released it, somebody would find some reason to bitch.
I don't think Laudisi has overbearing discretion on how SP markets products...or anybody else for that matter. SP has marketing people to do that. And all sorts of products are promoted with a targeted roll out date.
Every time there's a drop for just about anything limited somebody misses out. And then the griping about what a bunch of bastards the vendors are...

I was able to snipe some at 12:01. Glad I was on the ball for this one. Only #1000 makes me feel pretty lucky to get my hands on it.
Mine will likely never see a jar.
So, you‘ve tasted it already?Well, that’s more than I thought would be available. Jeremy & da boys did fine on this one as all their small batch jobs. ?
Gents - Ernie has some at Watch City. Won't last long.......
Mine will hibernate... Although I might bust one open just to try it. I usually let my new purchases sit for a while.
A--holes and elbows!
