Pressing a couples buttons from the comfort of my couch isn’t exactly challenging. Don’t even have to put clothes on.
I wasn’t saying it’s bad, certainly not for C+D. It’s just some Instagram generation bullshit. I would have thought your average pipe smoker with brick $ is above that age. And I totally agree with the plethora of satisfactory readily available products negates the need to obtain this - thus making the midnight drop pointless- I’m not staying up late to get a tobacco when there’s hundred of other good blends that don’t require hijacking my circadian rhythms to acquire them.
Well I guess if you feel the traditions of other industries must be maintained….I have no counter argument
Just my word to make typing shorter. Sorry if it sucks.
You don't have to justify your feelings to everyone on here. We can silently seethe our disappointment in the comfort of our home.
It's always a good thing to keep in mind that some folks just don't give a shit. If it really bothers you, write an email to the company.
Me, I just enjoy seething publicly. it's ok, as long as you keep it entertaining.

I like driving the discussion; I find it amusing. Also, I am opining and I expect others to differ on the topic. I like it when there are multiple viewpoints; otherwise it’s just a one-sided discussion. I’m not looking to create heated arguments or for people to be “seriously “ upset.It's always a good thing to keep in mind that some folks just don't give a shit.

I agree I think C&D are helping the hobby grow. Creating demand and appreciation for an already fine product. It is is in the interest of the hobby to grow. Same thing happened with Great Eastern Cutlery (tradition slip joint knives I will call them codger blades ? ) once their knives set around for a months on webstores now when they drop a new production run they sell out in seconds. All that has done is cause the value of my knives to go way up. Also C&D and GEC could very legitimately raise the price way up where it sat around a few days and make more money good on them for not. Yeah it stinks when you miss out (I have not been able to get GEC knives like I would like) but I am glad that the slip joint has come back and I think GEC has been the cause. Before GEC there where only Three companies making Slip joints in the USA (Case. Bear, and Buck) 50 years ago there where hundreds Queen stopped last. Maybe C&D can help the hobby grow in the same way.
Don't hate the playa hate the game ?
It's not impossible to feel the same appreciation, and also pissed at the midnight drop time.
The weird thing about this forum is that when you post that you don't like one little thing, people assume that you are a hater of the whole company. Like if someone gets a misdrilled Peteerson, people are like, "don't hate Petersons.
Or, if you don't like aromatics, "stop hating Sutliff."
It's crazy.
On the other hand, I think it is weird for someone to be so devout a fan of a company, that everything that company does is worthy of devotion.
Ha ha true. Fanboyism vs Haters often times very little critical thinking in either approach. I also think it is funny when people get mad at resellers for jacking the price up but that is another story. The expensive secondary market in some ways creates the brand.It's not impossible to feel the same appreciation, and also pissed at the midnight drop time.

Sorry not sorry. It took me all of five minutes to make the order and fall back asleep. Comparing that to lining up for hours for something is simply absurd.
My point was that it’s not difficult at all to get in on these limited releases.
I wish they had of just charged more, like $400 a pop. It is easier for me to pay more for exclusivity than to wake up at f'n midnight. Maybe it would have culled some of these wippersnappers that stay up so late.

Isn’t that just a change to shift barrier to entry off you and onto someone else? Strange position.
I know, which is why I said “almost”. You are still feeding the hype machine and whilst a peeve of mine, you are free to feed it. Also, I am sure some purchasers made no adjustments to their bedtime to get this. We all have different lines in the sand. I agree that the midnight vultures are not on the same level as some guy pissing away 4 hours of his Saturday to obtain the latest Tired Hands beer. Perhaps not the best comparison on my part, but it was the first example of folks getting overly spun up on hype that came to mind.
What the hell… are operatives dropping LSD in the water supply all around the country…?
I'm sure not, for any pressing "couples buttons" activities - not that there's anything wrong with that.
It doesn't duck it just means that pipe smoking isn't as small as it seems, just look at youtube or instagram. It's become very popular and mainstream.
