This particular barrel was unique and quite different than Mark's other product. I remember when he introduced me to it at the WCPS, I think in 2016. He was showing me various different Periques that he had brought for sale, and what I was searching for was something with the fruitiness that the Perique took on in the A&C Peterson version of Escudo after years of aging. Although it was labeled as decade aged in the label, it had actually been in the barrel for closer to 15 years and it had that fruitiness the others lacked. Glad I bought a few tubs of it.
Last year's is my "deserted island" tin. I'll set my alarm for midnight and try to limit out.
Ya, same. I heard it will really suck this year, so don't buy it. I'll do you all a favour and buy as much as I can just to get if off the market so you don't accidently buy some. Hate for you to be disappointed.
This reminds me I haven't even tried the tin of 2021 I bought. I came down with covid shortly after ordering it and I couldn't smell or taste for 5 months. I'm going to try it out and then decide whether this year's version will be different enough to pick some up.
You would think Sutliff would be creating a bunch of marketing hype around this. Do we still know it's getting released December 3rd?
Shhh... this is not the blend you are looking for.
I already have my lawn chair out in the virtual line holding my spot 
CF Is one of the limited blends I look forward to each year. Always snag several and end up gifting a few to friends that smoke pipes

Actually Mr. Sutliff saw my post and he DM'd me to say that CK is now coming out on December 4th, not the 3rd as was originally planned. So everyone needs to reset their calendar notifications. Honestly, Mr. Sutliff DM'd me directly to tell me......
Just popped open one of my tins from 2021 the other day. Very strong apple cider vinegar smell. Not a bad smoke but nothing to go crazy over.
Now I can't tell if That Guy is jumping on the joke or is actually serious?!?!
It seems to be strange to be sitting around and saying, "It's less than three weeks away"!!
For anyone who hasn't seen it, tobacco pipes is running a drawing for a 4 (!) Pound block. They say the release is the 2nd at midnight eastern.
Thanks, I just entered the raffle! Fingers crossed!
Who is grabbing two tins for us no ship states? I believe the standard fee is a free tin of something from my cellar.
I’ll get you. No need for a tin.Who is grabbing two tins for us no ship states? I believe the standard fee is a free tin of something from my cellar.
@JimInks we can we expect your review? I’m assuming you’ll post before it’s release date.
I'm working on, and the review will be on line before the official release date.
Do me a favour and post the link. I don't see it anywhere when I go on their site. Maybe because of the way I spell favour they filter out those from outside the US!?!?
