Jim said he noticed a fruit essence topping on it. I'm not a fruit essence kinda guy, so I'm glad I passed on it early this morning.
C&D Folklore
- Thread starter Ebarber
- Start date
I was up working late when I saw the drop on smoking pipes. Originally I wasn't that interested in it but after reading about the Virginia's used and Jim's description of the oriental I was a little intrigued. Ultimately my distaste for Kentucky fire cured tobacco, no matter how continental, made me skip this small batch.
The pound bag wasn't a big deal for me because I usually buy at least a pound of C&D small batch releases if I think I'll like them. I may have been more interested if it was an actual plug instead of the crumble cake as well. Hopefully everyone who picked some up enjoys it!

That's the only reason I was able to score some last night before they sold out. My 2nd shift started at midnight LOL.
Apparently the variety they used is only semi-fire-cured. Sounds interesting. They fire-cure it for a short time after the leaf has been air cured and the pores are closed.
I can see the Pipe Pundit column for Feb. 2023 now…
“Where were you the day the Folklore dropped: A one year retrospective”…
I'm Subscriber # 1,298,413 for a one-time email alert from SP.com for StonehavenWhat, like there's more than 800 of us pipesmokers in the US?
Depends on what kind of cat ?
That there sums it up! (Hoosier drops the microphone)...Of course my daughter says that means something...?
What the flip was up with this, only sold as 1 pound! 
@jeremyreeves Mr. Reeves please tell us why 1 pound and not 2 oz. tins?
8:30pm out here my time it was available, I just received the latest SPC newsletter and headed over to the site, but when I saw this, ahhhh 1lb. $59...
I was like damm, what the heck is going on, only making it available like this.
Ok who are we voting on that is going to sell us some out of their pound on the forum? LOL ?

Hey guys, what’s up? Did I miss something?
I like the one pound drops. I just wished they had of charged more, or done something to deter so many people jumping on it so fast. Make it for the really serious small batch fan. $400 a pop.What the flip was up with this, only sold as 1 pound!

I’m really picky when it comes to tastes, I’d never buy a pound of something I’ve never tried. I always try to buy the absolute minimum when trying a new blend for the first time.
It's virtually a one pound cake of Mad Fiddler Flake.
I love it.?. That's why I went ahead and bought Folklore. Cheaper than 8 tins of Mad Fiddler.
That's just screaming, "I smoke my pipes fast!"Damn! I sure hope that Folklore doesn’t turn out to be like like this other fella posted…I mean could there a more polar opposite viewpoint? Just saying. ?️

I've got a meerschaum that doesn't get a whole lot of attention that I'm thinking of running the pound of Folklore through over the next month.
That age when smoked though!Damn! I sure hope that Folklore doesn’t turn out to be like like this other fella posted…I mean could there a more polar opposite viewpoint? Just saying. ?

And that’s why I didn’t buy any.
MFF is fine, but not something I need a pound of in my cellar. YMMV.
