Was the tin size the same in Europe? The description on Smokingpipes.com states, "Only 7100 tins of this special edition blend were produced worldwide." Maybe this is just extra marketing for the USA market because we seem to eat that stuff up!
Update: Interesting, I found the European tin at an online store and it's only 50g compared to the 100g/3.5oz tin here in the USA. So, the it's not really clear if the 7100 tins refers to the larger tins only, all tins, or is mostly irrelevant.

That's my suspicion, too. Tin size in Europe is different. Only 50g tins are available here, lacking any notes about limitation.
Thanks for the recommendation. I may try that. I’ve been sticking with sp.com due to their Canadian shipping options. It’s the only way to order something where the shipping isn’t more expensive than the product.
I had some Tambolaka when 4noggins sold it, and it was good if you treated it with respect. I'm not a big craver of nicotine, but it had plenty. i think it was an air cured Indonesian burley variety.
The limited edition part had no effect on me, I would have purchased the same amount as I know this is right up my alley. I suspect after this “version”, it will be regular production.
Not me! I saw “limited edition” and was like, oh shit, I NEED some of that! I NEED 10 tins of that NOW!
That's me too. Normally when I buy, it's always 10-20 tins.
That usually closes my wallet. The only saving grace for this one was the blend contents.
I've never gotten a nicotine hit from smoking a pipe.
I can forgive the "Limited" aspect if they know they aren't going to be able to put it into permanent production due to regulations.
According to their own print this is limited to 7100 tins worldwide so they won't be able to produce more than that under this labeling. They could slightly alter the blend if they wanted to though. It's questionable if they could leave the blend exactly the same and put it into different sized tins or simpley change the label. Their advertising print isn't clear enough to make a determination but as noted about not being permanent production I doubt they are worried about it at this point.
I ordered 4 tins and I'm not sure I'll ever get through all 4 tins but probably at least 2.

Just ordered one tin-already reached my budget limit last night when I saw they had Rattray’s in stock...but I’m not passing this up. I’m really looking forward to all of us getting the blend right around the same time and seeing the reaction.
As far as the “limited” thing goes, I figured it was just for this run...but seeing 7100 tins, I felt I’d better snap one up as quick as possible, so I guess I’m a sucker?

I was hoping to see one pound boxes as I despise tins, but no such luck.
Mine is already in the mail! Should be trying it out in the XL Dunhill Monday. ?
English subtitles in case.... you.... do not speak English.
Says it was only smoked by married men with 2 or more wives. I am covered when I count the ex-wife.
I received an order from them today and for the first time ever SP was sloppy on their packaging. I had to double-check and make sure I did not order from P&C. Mine came via UPS and it was absent of the typical "packaged with care by" paper. Not sure why they are going this way...
I had an order come in the week prior that was USPS but this week it was UPS. Well UPS eventually transferred it to USPS and they finished the deal.
Strange. Maybe due to all of the current insanity and they're taking every step to get mail delivered.
