So, you‘ve tasted it already?
Nope…just eating ? over here whilst reading the complaints bout C&D’s marketing failures. It sounds appealing though. I’ve sampled most of their small batches and I’d call them successes in both flavor & marketing.
However, I had to draw a line somewhere & Watch City wins me over on April Fools. ☕

YESSSS... I got me a pound. Thanks for the heads up. I just hope I didn't make any mistakes in filling out the info.
My first order to WCC
Well hopefully not your last!

He makes some incredible blends! Highly recommend his Old Dominion and Persian Slipper.

Often has Gawith in bulk too.

But I digress - don't wish to hijack this thread.....

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.
That’s kind of the point.
But the other thing about an exclusive one time release is that everyone who scores is invested in it being absolutely wonderful, whether it is or not.
Slam, bam, and thank you, m’am.

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... :ROFLMAO:
And then they are all lined up for the next drop. FOMO lemmings.

Oh, and no matter what it is that someone bitches about, someone is going to be bitching about the bitching. Haha!

My first order to WCC
I was waiting for the WCC update since I have other stuff I wanted from them, got busy at work, and then missed it. So it goes... :( They have great service, too. You should be satisfied with them. I typically wait and buy from WCC since I like supporting their efforts. This time I missed out though. The good news is that's just tobacco and everybody came out unscathed!
