I saw on Instagram the Cornell and Diehl is coming out with a new small batch soon called Folklore. Anyone know anything about it?

It's a ribbon cut composed from the finest of musty old tomes topped with Elf and a pinch of fairy dust.
I'm sure there's a story behind it.
Se what I did there?

All I have heard is that it will be a small batch sold in one pound cans. I just hope it’s a burley based blend.
I will TOTALLY be on my computer at midnight to buy as many tins as possible!

Doing some research it says it’ll be first small batch in 16 oz tins! I want one as long as there is no Latakia in it.
Just talked to a customer rep at SP and they pointed me toward the C&D Instagram info, but they didn't have any info on upcoming availability.
" the first 16oz pipe tobacco in our Small Batch line, available soon at a tobacconist near you." (excerpted from C&D Instagram)

A "small batch" that is a large enough production to package as a whole pound (along with smaller tins, presumably)? I'm intrigued.
I'm a sucker for anything "limited edition", I mean a total rube. No way I'm not buying this.
It will be interesting to see if the 1 pound tin staves off the small batch mobs. I remember hearing the 140th releases would sit a little longer because of the 100g tin.
In for a penny, in for a pound!

The name could denote anything, or just be folklore. Coming from C&D, it had better include burley in the blend.
So, the ONLY notable thing about this small batch is that you HAVE to be a lot of it to get any of it. That doesn't augur well...
Selling unknowns to a bunch of hoarders who cannot resist based on FOMO, one pound at a time. Life is good for C&D. Will jiminks post reviews before they go on sale?

Genius!
I do really love Sun Bear/Sun Bear Black Locust and Eight State was pretty good as well, but those are the only small batch offerings I purchased (6/8 tins and 2 tins, respectively).
