I mean, the social media people didn’t exact magically receive their tins. They literally sent the tins ahead of release to the social media folks. it started hitting my feed almost 2 weeks ago.
Who do you think is spamming the site to buy it all up? It’s not the people walking into B&Ms.
I didn’t even want the blend and I knew everything there was about it quite a bit ago.
LOL! It's like the queuing system they had for online supermarkets when covid hit
.
You are No 3979 in the que. Your wait time is approximately 3hrs.
"fuck this shit! I want my Mars bars!!

Can you provide an example of where C&D hyped up this release? I genuinely curious.
It's been a known thing since January 4th. Not like it was a surprise to anyone and it was available at multiple outlets.
If B&Ms got any it's just due to being C&D distributors. They don't buy from the site and would've made it available on the release date.
Look, it doesn't take too many calls or computers to jam up a site if it is done all at once. Must have products like Firebird are only must have tobaccos for a reason I certainly don't understand. Having just experienced White Knight, a tobacco that is on its way out, I would prefer to have access to something like that than a one of fly by night tobacco such as Firebird. The hype isn't from C&D. The hype is from those on the forums who get all excited by the sound of slot machines in a casino. Tantrums and barking at the wind will get you very little. Boutique merchandise isn't really boutique. It's a gimmick. Maybe it smokes great. Maybe it won't. Maybe you would never have cared if it was readily available as was the case with the prior Cringle Flake, 2023. People bitched that they wouldn't have purchased it had they known it wouldn't have sold out. Well, it that was the case, then why did you buy it to begin with. FOMO. People were upset with C&D over that one because they thought somehow the company was fraudulent in calling it a small release. That goes to show you. Just like this last release does. It's all about the hype and the hype lives in the mind.
Cringle Flake was a Sutliff product, not a C&D release but I take your point.
Personally, I don’t jump on every small batch release but this one sounded promising to me because I like some of the components in it.
Also, some of Small Batch releases are great blends. I buy every tin of Eight States Burley that I can get my hands on. And there are tons of people that absolutely love the mostly-annual small batch release of Sun Bear. Just as a couple examples.
I don’t think everyone needs a blend to be readily available as a prerequisite for wanting to own a few tins.

This is so wrong yet I love it. I’m looking forward to cracking one of my tins and contemplating the tears of the less fortunate.All of yall's cries of anguish, is just going to make me enjoy smoking mine all the better. The tears of the unfortunate, flavors the meals of the fortunate.
If everyone could have gotten some, I probably wouldn't like it as much.
I'm kidding, just kidding. :::sigh::: but don't stop complaining... keep on. I am... empathizing with you poorsapssouls. Bless yall's hearts.
Strangely this is one of a very few small batch or limited release blends I have gone after. I’ve usually been able to pick up a tin or two of other limited releases at a local B&M or I just haven’t been that interested but I am really glad I made the effort this time and secured a few tins right away. The components in this one and the write ups perked my curiosity and hightened expectations.
Sorry you missed out. Message me and I’ll send you a tin
Ha, ha. Although I genuinely appreciate the thought. I am focused more on building up the things I really enjoy. I tried to log in during the rush and got the waiting room, but I was logging in to get some Sutliff Chocolate Supreme. I realized what was happening and was frustrated that due to the hype, I couldn't get either the C&D Mocha or the Sutliff Chocolate Supreme to make some more EZ1 with the 8oz of Frosty Mint I've got cellared. Priorities, right...Sorry you missed out. Message me and I’ll send you a tin
Have you tried Sutliff 307 mocha strips? I’ve got a pound or two - they are quite nice. They taste like chocolate and raspberry to me
Had Sutliff not gone down the road of disappearing, they were on my list to try as an alternative to C&D Mocha. Although, C&D Mocha is quite nice itself.
As it is, it looks like I will be having to check out C&Ds chocolate tobaccos as a substitute for Chocolate Supreme. Ah, well. @BarrelProof would be proud to know his recipe is still in good hands.
Fear Of Moldy Orientals?
He’s the only true Frosty Mint lover I know of besides you. I’d rather just smoke a Camel menthol myself.
Remember his rule - one part out of 8 parts. But someone out there loves it more than all of us - 60 lbs worth apparently. I just found out @Manawydan got himself 8 oz worth of it. Seriously, when not smoked straight, it is a fantastic additive to make a great dessert blend. I've sent some of my EZ1 to other smokers and all of them have loved it - especially their wives who are happy to smoke with them.
