Gawith and Esoterica drops

[blametony]

Does anyone know, or is there any sort of calendar somewhere that would tell me when producers like Gawith and blends like Esoterica would drop? I usually put my name on the "wishlist" buttons on the retailers, but I'd still love to know if they're at specific dates. Thanks!

They drop when they drop. Some sites have email sign-ups for latest news and they sometimes appear on it.

Gawith is pretty regularly available.

Yeah I’m also waiting for GH and SG.

I read somewhere its usually march-may when the drops would occur.

 

[Oddball]

That's right. Sometimes its twice a year on the SG.

GH was consistent with drops every 4 to 5 months for a bit

Once you get 100 posts, you can place “In Search Of” ads in the tobacco buy/sell/trade section. It’s been helpful for me in the past. Most recently I bought a box of Sammy G St James Flake here. Esoterica is often for sale here. I’m guessing you’d prefer to spend retail as opposed to retailx5 though.
Pipestud dot com is also a fabulous site for buying badass tobaccos but you have to be super fast.

My best piece of advice for Esoterica is find a good brick and mortar shop near you, and be a decent customer. When the drops happen you’ll know and won’t have any issue getting any.

Agree. The Esoterica drops are random at my brick and mortar.

Esoterica blends usually drop in late spring and late fall, though there are occasional extra drops. It's not rigid.

If you want to pay retail and have access to a local B&M, this is the way.

Why is that funny? A friend who smokes pipes shared some Peacehaven with me and I loved it. I know it’s hard to get, but of all the blends I’ve been trying, that one stood out a lot to me.

I hear ya. I could use two bags of And So To Bed. It’s one blend I dedicate a Stanwell too and a blend I have never found anything close to how it smokes.

Probably because of the feigned lack of available online. Esoterica bags and tins often sit collecting dust at B&Ms.

When I worked at a shop around 10 years ago we would have bags sit there for months before they sold. They were only $35 a bag.

Living in New York City, there’s literally ONE B&M and it’s more Cigar focused than Pipe focused. That’s being said, you can’t walk more than 2 blocks without passing a vape shop or cannabis dispensary.
