Can't bring myself to be interested, but there are a couple of threads about it since it was announced.
C&D Folklore :: General Pipe Smoking Discussion
I saw on Instagram the Cornell and Diehl is coming out with a new small batch soon called Folklore. Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks Jiminks for this great new review!

Just sounds like Speakeasy minus the rum.
Interesting packaging. Sent me back to the pie packaging McDonald's used to use.
It might be a terrific blend, but I'm going to have to sit out on this small batch release.

I want to, but a line has to be drawn somewhere. It does sound intriguing, but I think I’mma gonna wait til April Fools to make another ? purchase. ?

Way too much for me. I'd take a tin or two but not an lb.
Another marketing blunder by C&D. It will probably sell out but if they did tins they would satisfy a lot more customers.

That's a little premature.
Their recent run of Limited and Small Batch releases have been largely successful I would say.
I concur. Every recent small batch limited release has sold out quickly, so I’d call their strategy pretty solid. Whether or not I’ll get any is TBD.
Looks like the Custard Pie and Sweet Potato Pies are missing from that picture lineup.
Satisify some big customers at the expense of the many smaller customers who only want a couple of tins. I would want all my customers to have equal access. What's next 5lb bricks.
They will sell it all. No doubt. Just like Sun Bear had no meaningful limit on number of tins to purchase so alot of guys missed out. Alot of people were disappointed about that.
Is that true? There was a follow up release on P&C awhile after the initial release that was posted here. Did people still miss out? Sorry, just curious a I was excited about the release as well and was able to a few tins without much effort, but I realize that timing (i.e., ones availability to take action on the announcements) was key. Okay, back to the current conversation in this thread...
I'm just excited to get so much free tobacco with my reusable vinyl sticker.
I'm actually curious why they didn't package it in a larger Mason jar, vacuum seal them, and price it accordingly for the extra material and shipping. Don't they produce the BriarWorks blend that are packed in smaller mason jars?
I like it. It’s like a small batch bulk offering, put it away in whatever storage method works for you. Some type of large 1 pound tub would be a waste of resource.
All of the 1 pound flakes from Mac Baren come as a sliced brick in plastic that I buy. C&D already offers some blends in bricks in plastic. It’s interesting this causes such a stir.

I only mentioned the jar packaging because they made a point of including the sticker to put on a jar, I believe that they produce and package the BriarWorks blends in jars, and this 1 lb packaging sleeve is different than their other 1 lb tins and other plastic/cardboard bricks.
Not everyone, me among them, wants a large mason jar. I prefer the tobacco split up among smaller jars. Not to mention the difficulty and added expense of shipping all those glass jars. No question, some would get broken creating a big headache on returns.
