I kind of hope the size keeps more people from buying it up so fast. I hope they offer the one pound bricks in more of these. I hate feeling like a goose fighting for a bit of bread being tossed to us.
It's a crap shoot. So far, I have yet to be disappointed by a C&D smallbatch. But, I have missed out because of the freakin' feeding frenzie they create.
If someone is a very picky smoker that hates lots of things, or if someone has actually gotten a small batch that they disliked, then maybe set it out.
A lot of folks want to try smaller amounts. Maybe buy as syndicates and divide it into digestible chunks?
I sure we could all find three friends ....
Still a pain to get it into Canada. Tobacco roulette on a big amount that that......

That's a great idea, but once you fall in love with the sample, you're not going to be able to find more. I would advise this for folks that just want to taste things, and not worried about ever being able to find more. YMMV
With this winter, my tobacco consumption has gone down dramatically. I hate cold weather starting this year. I remember loving cold mornings. So, I smoke pipe maybe once every other week when the front porch gets sun and outside temp is well above 60. My stashes are getting aged by unwanted, unintentional reason. So, I don't need or want a brick.
Too much for me. No doubt comes with a 1 pound price.
If it were in 1/2 pound bricks I might be more interested in buying some.
I am not going for this. The 1lb brick is fine with me. I actually like it. I am just to inexperienced with Indonesian Kasturi to trust getting 1lb.
I'd buy a pound of something I liked alot. Maybe. But not something I've not tried. I'm sure it will be very nice tobacco, but I have plenty of that.
I remember when the Pies had been "Deep Fried" in McD's Beef Fat Oil along with the Fries? (that's what gave it the Fantastic Smell and Flavor)...Now it's Baked Cardboard and the Fries suck.
Sounds like this might come down to a personal decision for each of us. That’s good news, as subjective choice is so lacking in pipe smoking
I think they’re hype masters. And I don’t think the tobacco will live up to the expectations, at least not in my case. Jeremy hyped up eight state burley as super rare orientals and burley aged to perfection, but failed to mention any topping whatsoever. I was pissed when opened the tin and smelled vanilla. Gonna suck to cough up 80 dollars for a pound of tobacco if you don’t like it, it’s a cash grab in my opinion.
I thought Eight States Burley exceeded experience expectations, it certainly did mine. This whole deal seems simple to me. If you smoke a fair amount and like VaOr blends, seems like a must buy. If you smoke 1 bowl a week, likely a hard pass. if you liked previous C&D VaOr blends, probably a buy.
I would think if you're on the fence, buy. If you don't like it, you should be able to recover every cent plus some by breaking it up and selling it in small increments here. Personally, I'd rather lose $70 than lose out on something I may really enjoy.
Haha, one step ahead of you, sir! AK Pipe Club is buying a pound for the club.
Other forums are going in on group buys as well.
Are we sure it's going to be $80? TobaccoPipes has it listed already and it's set at $59.50, which for a pound isn't bad.
4noggins has it listed for a 2028 buy reserved at $365!
