So, language used like limited -edittion, limited quantities, and extremely limited, stock up today...along with exclamation marks doesn't trigger you anymore??? Really?
WCC and Wilke, I believe, had some in stock before the release tonight. I've noticed that with other releases as well, smaller shops like Wilke have it in stock before the bigger guys put it out.
I naively thought the manufacturer set the release date and time. Guess not.
Who knows what's really going on. I'm just sharing my observations of releases past.
I won't be buying any. Looks like a blend I'd like but the buy-in is too steep for something I've never tried and customs would probably slap a $200 surcharge on top of it coming across the border. They should sell it in tins. Oh well.
Agreed. Folklore is actually my favorite C&D blend by a wide margin.If you're hesitant, or if you just have been repulsed by some C&D blends... then skipping these small batches is probably best.
Me, I haven't had a C&D that I have been intrigued with. I haven't smoked one that made me go "WTF". Also, every small batch, I have loved, so laying out a tad over $100 for 2 lbs just isn't a big deal to me. That is merely one night of taking my family out to eat. It doesn't hurt me, so to speak. I know that just about any tobacco will appeal to me at some point... except Mixture 79, Carter Hall, or anything with cherry or mint in it.
Other than those... I can afford to gamble.
However, if you have had a blend that if someone forced you to smoke again, you decided you'd rather lay in the floor kicking a screaming like a 4 year old... then just skip these. Let the big boys play.
I mean one pound is just $65... I've paid more than that for a bottle of Japanese whiskey that stripped all of the flesh out of my throat, and I had to pour it down the sink. It was just a learning experience for me.
Crap, that should read, (I haven't had a C&D that I haven't been intrigued with).
Have you tried them all? I wonder if anyone on here who has tried all of them. There are so many…
