G.L. Pease: Silver Jubilee

Oh, you mean like what's in Sansepolcro?

A lot of Dark Fired Kentucky is grown in Tuscany and it's mostly used for Toscano cigars. C&D has had a relationship with an Italian farm and cigar manufacturer for many years from which it sources different grades (grades, as its used in tobacco, in the sense of having different characteristics) of Italian-grown DFK.

On the wider confusion around availability: yes, this was plucked out of LDG's Facebook page which communicates primarily to retailers around the US. It will be available much as any C&D Small Batch product is available, at stores that already stock G. L. Pease pipe tobacco (including, of course, Smokingpipes).

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize that it still had "Kentucky" in its title. And, it's good to know that this will be available to us mere mortals. I was wondering if I had to email you to get on this "exclusive" list, ha ha.

I really look forward to trying this.

Pavlov’s dogs are drooling.

“Oooh tell me more about this one off I can spend an inordinate amount of time and money acquiring so I can tell people on Instagram that I got it!”

It’s just fucking backwards from pipe smoking.

Can only speak for myself but I plan on smoking it could care less if anyone knows I got some. But I agree the buildup and panic buying that promotes the tobacco scalpers market is getting old.

My bad. Things got so mixed up after ‘86.

I blame Hands Across America.

Let me guess it's already SOLD OUT.

Same here I’ve already got my chair parked by the door to hold my spot in line.

All jokes aside, we really do have it good. If a limited release sounds like something I’d enjoy, I’ll grab a tin or two. If it doesn’t, I just skip it. No harm, no foul.

Coming from the bourbon craze, it’s a completely different world. In a liquor control state, getting anything “allocated” means entering raffles you’ll never win or camping outside a store on release day. With limited tobacco releases, we usually know exactly when and where a drop is happening online. No waking up at the crack of dawn, no long drives, no standing out in the cold, no entering raffles you have a 1% chance of winning and no expectation to spend thousands just for the chance to buy a couple of tins.

We really do have it good. And it’s great for the pipe tobacco producers too selling out quickly helps keep their business strong.

Now if it gets to the point we have to start entering raffles for a normal release - then we would have an issue.

It’s already been announced when the retail drop will be on smokingpipes.com.

This is a limited blend to celebrate GLP’s anniversary, and not a regular production blend. Not having to mind the drop time and then spending 15 minutes in queue purgatory would be great, but that’s the nature of a limited release. It sounds pretty interesting, and I’m gonna try to snag a tin or two. I’m not mad that I’ll have the opportunity.

Update: It’s going to be a 10,000 tin release per a post Greg Pease made on instagram. Limited, but not so limited that it will be gone immediately or same day.

Good to know
I’d just add - I don’t know how many people actually read this forum but if you are a lurker or an old timer
Have some respect and don’t hoard it all in order to poach and scalp
Let everyone get a few tins
If you plan on smoking 100 tin then more power but buy what you plan on smoking
