It's a shame to see so many great blends going away forever.

I placed my first order from Pipes & Cigars ... mainly for this thread and also for @blendtobac who I regard with high esteem.
While I read many horror stories about pipes and cigars here, my experience with their sister concern Cigars International is Ok.
Fingers crossed ?

Yes, that’s how much a fricken paid for it when it first came out. I thought it would be gone in hours... not years.
?
Damn man that stings a little.
I'm surprised they didn’t lower the price gradually. They kept it at 19.99 until today. Not a great strategy as I’m sure within the past year they could have sold some at $14.99 and called it a sale. Shit I might have bought one, but not for $20.
I ended up getting more. This was such a unique release I just had to. I gotta stay away from this place man... I was doing so good until I came back to play.
got some of the English to give a try this time around.

I haven’t ordered from P&C in years. In the last few weeks I have been looking at the RO stuff but didn’t want to pay the prices. Had to grab some tins. Thanks for the heads up.
It's always interesting how people's tastes vary.I smoked the Va/Per and thought it a complete failure. The Perique and the Perique processed Canadian Virginia just didn't marry up for me. The flavors were too close to harmonize and just off enough to be dissonant in a thoroughly unpleasant way.
Of all those releases of RO blends that came out at that time, my favorite was the RO Perique Series. Of those four distinctive Va/Per blends my favorite by far was GP-11. Evidently others felt the same, since it was the first to run out about a year+ ago. I bought over 30 tins of it and my only regret is that I didn't buy another 30 tins of it.
This reminds me that I have one or two of these unopened. I'm pretty well stocked, for me.
I’m going to use the Acadian Gold to blend with. I’m Looking forward to mixing some Semoise with it!
But I will agree that it probably was a total failure (a very acquired taste) which is why 4 years after its release we are seeing a huge discount on the prices. Obviously there are some people who love it though, I always seem to fall on the side of loving it on these polarizing blends.
