I think they do it so half the people buy it without even knowing if they like it. ? it’s genius really

Elementary Marketing 101. But it's gotta be good or the consumer will remember and you won't get away with it again. Supply v. Demand. This is how Harley (who still builds an overpriced, under powered machine) came back from the dead by making their bikes scarce. I waited 18 months for my "Willie G is Back" Road King.

For the record. I still have a Harley in the Garage so I am allowed to talk sh*t about them :)

I just can't do this hype/hurried type of shopping. If they want my business, it's gotta be readily available.
Yeah, I get it. I don’t use credit cards much, but I do have one that I use for tobacco and pipes. If a big drop or small batch comes, I just put it on the card, and pay it off before they charge me interest. $150 worth is my self-imposed limit to keep myself out of trouble.

If anyone is still searching for some, Briarworks just listed Sun Bear on their site. I believe it’s around $13.50 per tin, and I don’t know whether or not there is a limit, I just saw their Insta post and thought I’d try to help some folks out! I already got my 8 from SP which is more than enough for me. As of last night Watch City had it up on their site, as well. I’d venture to guess they already sold out, though. Happy hunting!

Credit card for the win! I got my first fantastic plastic this year, and it’s just the best. I got 0% APR for 15 months, and you better believe I’ve bought some stuff with it. I just pulled the trigger on a very nice birth year pipe, and threw that baby on the card. Bonus: my credit score has gone up 135 points since 02/20. God, I love good reasons to spend my money on pipes and tobacco ?

Just don’t bite off more than you can chew. That’s how they get you. ?
