G.L. Pease Renaissance Reserve

[gsmunoz]

I am with you jerwynn. I had two in my cart and couldn't complete the order. They sold out before I could get to the confirm button. Completely bummed.
I am happy for those of you who were able to acquire tins of this rarity. Enjoy it! :clap: :puffpipe:

If it is simply Syrian Latakia one is after, there is always Mac Baren's HH Vintage Syrian. Seems to be plenty of that available.

 

[jefff]

It's not just the Syrian. It's the blend as a whole and how the various leaves interact.
I smoked it years ago... Like 15? But I honestly don't remember anything about it.

 

[jefff]

This may well bring some tins out of people's cellars. They won't be cheap but I'd keep my eye on pipestuds web site.

Yawn...
Did I miss something?
Oh, Renaissance...
Yeah, I already have that.

Still no confirmation email so I think I'm SOL

 

[jefff]

Did they hit your credit card? It's possible they had a busy day yesterday.

 

[ericusrex]

Yup, I'm SOL. I got a refund email last night as well as an apologetic email from SPC.
sigh

Did P&C ever put their allotment up for sale? Thinking you may still have a chance to buy at retail.

From what I can tell, it was never listed on P&C's website. However, a friend called and they said they listed it Wednesday and that it sold out in 20 minutes. Not sure what to believe, but I never saw it go live.

 

[gsmunoz]

20 minutes in and out. Put the page up, let it sell out and pull the page. Minimizes phone traffic and upset customers. If that's what they did, it's actually very smart. Leaving a page for a limited edition with no ability to purchase is only going to drive contacts from upset customers.
I called and spoke to George at P&C.com and he confirmed they sold out in 20 minutes. :puffpipe:
Oh well, now to wait for the update on glpease.com about Regents Flake and Temple Bar. They are supposed to be available on the 12th.

I decided to crack open one of my two tins of Renaissance Reserved just now. Nice tasty smoke.
