That's the predicament I am in. I will likely pass up on picking this up but with the C&D sale it makes it VERY tempting.

it depends on your tastes. It's a va/per/cav with an orange/ginger topping and it is a noticeable topping. If you don't like like any of those things, it would not make sense to pick it up. The topping is pretty unique and it's my wife's favorite for me to smoke in the house. It is an aromatic, 100% though so be OK with that.
It's freaking August still. They probably have a boatload of it in their storerooms, so I'm not exactly gonna worry about them running out anytime soon. And if they do, c'est la vie.
I just picked up two tins. Sounds like something my wife and I will enjoy,
Yeah.
I went ahead and bought three tins.
I'm just curious why Priority Mail ($10) will take until Tuesday or Wednesday next week and Regular First Class Mail ($5.65) will be here Friday.

Picked up a couple tins from SPC, and of courses I had to hit the $95 mark
Yeah, it never made sense to me either. Regular is definitely the way to go if not hitting the free shipping threshold.
Hmm, SPC sold out haha. I expect there will be more, but that's a little surprising.
I grabbed a few - look forward to trying it sometime after Thanksgiving and some will become seasonal gifts - and although I'm a Zippo guy (and if I can get the darn spring compressed and get a new flint in the Beattie I love that thing) - I figured I should have one of those green Peterson lighters, just because, so shipping was free!
Part of me wants to try it because it sounds like a pretty unique blend. However, another part, and the one that is most persuasive, bristles at the constant encroachment of Christmas products into the consumer market. Every year, Christmas comes sooner and sooner, lasts longer and longer, and dilutes the much superior Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays. I must pass on principle, hard as that may be.
I find it strange that C&D put out a Christmas blend before a Halloween blend.

Sold out? We'll probably see it on Tinbids for only $30 a tin.

If that’s really all they had for this release, which I doubt, it will really make it easy to just stop buying C&D blends.
they’re turning into the the Buffalo Trace of pipe tobacco.
Every new release is allocated and such a big buzz, I’d rather just grab something else.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't restocked. Unless there's a change, they aren't serialized like small batch releases or other seasonal blends. My 2018 tins were not and I just checked a tin of We Three Kinds from last year (tinned in August for anyone claiming it's too early) and it's also not.
It's usually around for a while so I'm hoping that continues to be the case this year.

It's wild, because a year or two ago, sp had several of the C&D holiday blends from previous years that just sat forever. I think I bought a Now it sells out in a flash. Kudos to them for the excellent marketing.Sold out? We'll probably see it on Tinbids for only $30 a tin.
