Everything is sold out! Been waiting for months for the re-opening but, decided to have a lazy morning and missed out. Hopefully, some of you scored some good stuff.

There was lots of good stuff. The one and only tin I really wanted got snatched up as I was in the process of paying for it. Suddenly it was no longer in my cart
I thought it was interesting he sold some Scotch snuff from the '60s. I was always under the impression that snuff went "stale" after some time so I didn't know there was much point in aging it. Apparently there are people who do age their snuff, however most prefer it fresh.
Man, it went FAST! Steve is going to be a very busy boy this week, packing and shipping.
For sure. I know Mr. Stud has been working hard on his new operation so I’m glad to see the huge response. Lot’s of pent up demand.
I snoozed and lost!
Congratulations to Steve on his Grand Reopening! In celebration, I bid too much and won this Purdy from his ebay auction:

Steve must be thrilled to be back up and running. Now, he doesn't have all of those wonderful tins taunting him to smoke up the profits...
As I understand it, the operation is offsite now. Makes it more difficult to reach for a great tin from the easy-chair.View attachment 33212

Fast it was indeed. But thrilled Steve's back. Congratulations, Steve!
Both there, and here too, I have to say, it's been a very bullish few days for Esoterica (and no surprise--Penzance in particular).
Dare I ask, re Esoterica blends, if there is any way to predict (in normal times, if not these strange days) when actual shipments to US retailers (B&M or otherwise) from Germain take place?
The transit of some comet in the night sky? A pagan priest adept at reading bulls' entrails, whom one can ask? I've tried to ascertain some vague pattern in posts from previous years, but have to say I remain totally stumped.

I have been trying to track down Germain’s Plumcake for a while now. I fear that when a new shipment lands here in the states it will sellout quickly. Penzance does show up here In the trading area. I bought an 8oz bag from a terrific member here last week for a really fair price. If you get desperate, PM me and I can send you some. That said, I can’t be responsible if you become addicted to it
I got one thing. The other that I was interested in (McClelland 5100) I thought was too expensive sold in seconds.
Glad it wasn't at an actual shop or it would have been a rugby match at the door, from the sounds of it.
Sleeping in on Saturdays has saved me so much money since I found out about Pipestud. That was a pretty amazing listing today. If they're all going to be like that, I'll have to start setting an alarm. At any rate, glad to see the man back in action!
Wish there was a way to sort by what's actually available.
Always crazy to see the $100, $200, $300 tins go so fast.
Whoever said that "money can't buy you happiness" definately didn't have to worry about a cellar of pipe tobacco! In all seriousness though, I cannot bring myself to pay $100 for one tin of tobacco when I can get 10x that. There is just no justifying it in my mind. Power to those who can though! Hope they end up being worth the premium!
Would’ve loved to have grabbed the Edgeworth tin. But, alas I was at rest and my billfold is all the thicker for it. Glad Steve is back on line with the new venue up & running.?
