There’s only one real way to find out. That’s how they get you.
I've seen it mentioned and talked about for the past year since the last release, so the hype and interest has been building for quite some time. I haven't yet tried it as it was last released before I joined the hobby. I know that it is a highly recommended VaOr by several forum members.Seems like there is a lot of hype surrounding Sun Bear... is it really all that good, or is it just a lot of marketing of the "new small batch limited release one time only!" thing? I generally lean away from marketing hype, and there is quite a bit of it surrounding this blend, but if it's good, it's good, and I might try it.

TobaccoPipes had no limit but they sold out while I had 10 in my cart looking up other shit. Good thing SP still had some, thanks to their limit.Well, 8 tins is ALMOST just enough for free shipping. Also, maybe they are trying to stretch it a bit further this time given how fast the 2,000 tins of Mac Baren Stockton disappears last week at a limit of 10 tins/day. I wasn't able to get a tin of that to try, but maybe someday I'll have a chance to try it from a kind soul.
It's not clear how many out of the 8,000 were released for distribution to be sold by other vendors. It's a bit weird since C&D and SmokingPipes.com are both owned by the same parent company (Laudisi) and therefore participate in the entire production, distribution, and sales chain for the C&D products. At least some portion of the tins has been sent into the distribution chain for Small Batch releases. but this one seems to be more limited so far as only one other vendor (Cup O Joes, 5 tin limit) has shown Sun Bear as being available for purchase at this time.

I actually refreshed my cart before I checked out and it didn’t note it was out of stock. Tried to check out with PayPal which is when I discovered that they “didn’t have enough in stock”.Yes. I, too, had it sold out from under me. I wish more companies would take KBV's approach to the shopping cart.
Also sold out already at The Pipe Nook.Wow, apparently available and gone already at Cup O Joes, Mars Cigars, and TobaccoPipes.com. I wonder what their actually allotment sizes were compared to how much Smokingpipes.com reserved for themselves.
Which is exactly why I didn't buy any and I'm just asking you guys instead
Yeah as you know hoarders gonna hoard, do you actually expect someone to say no don’t get it?
I agree with you 100% about not buying into the hype in general. In this case, this is the second run of this particular blend and I've seen enough reviews over the past year to be willing to take the "risk" that I'll like it. Seems like these Small Batch blends tend to be released yearly so if you do think you'll like after reading some reviews it it will be around again next year.Yes. There have been plenty of honest discussions on this forum about hyped up blends, both pro and con.
