Sorry! FWIW they were out of two when I ordered. And, no, I didn't order THAT much. Really. I swear.
couple of mine were on back order too... but at that deal... I can wait. I bought 12 tins... mix and match was awesome, not like SP buy 4 tins get one free of the SAME kind... still a decent deal last month at SP and I took advantage, but this deal is killer as far as my limited experience goes in pipe tobacco.
Placed my order for a dozen tins, about half on b/o. No problem waiting.
I still remember what it was like a few years back when Dunhill stopped pipe tobacco production, When I first heard that Nightcap was no longer available, I thought, "No problem, I'll just concentrate on MM965", which were my two mainstays at that time. I shortly found out about the entire line being pulled....NOOOOO! Well, begrudgingly checked out Westminster and a few others (including Penzance, which, ironically was readily available then) and they stepped up to fill the spot for a few years. Westminster is still there, but MM965 and NC are sharing that primary position these days.

I had the P&C calender, so I knew about this sale ahead of time. I had my cart picked out the night before, and placed my order around 9am. Got everything except Deluxe Navy Rolls and London mixture(backorder), and 965(didn't like the bulk).
A local B&M has the London Mixture, so I might just pick that up from there, so I can try it . I decided to buy Escudo instead of Dunhill Navy. Cheaper and I read on tobaccoreviews.com that they are pretty much the same. I think for a $4 difference, I'd go with Escudo.
I also ordered the Brigadier Black sampler (4 8oz tins for about $50). Bull Run was on backorder, and they've since deleted it from their site. Glad I already tried it, but kinda mad at myself for forgetting about the can and letting it turn to crumbly dust. It was a pretty good vanilla blend

Even though items show out of stock, they're still shipping quickly. I took advantage of the sale this morning with a rather large order, most of which was on back order. I just got my shipping notification that everything has shipped... It took about 7 hours.
I'm a big believer of buy cheap and buy deep. I've learned a lesson with the current ammo availability. Or lack thereof.
