My order is UPS too, first time they didnt use USPS at the free shipping level. I prefer USPS in my area so I hope this is not the new norm.

It may not make for sexy marketing hype and so blenders don't talk about it, but some of us are addicted to nicotine (go figure!) High nicotine blends are popular for us folks as well as the occassional "day tripper." And I don't think there isn't any reason that you can't enjoy the flavors of a well-made blend while getting what you want or need from the nicotine. I love the taste and strength of GHC Dark Flake
I ordered 2 tins, one for my friend Simon and one for myself to try. We shall see the results...
No kidding. Felt like yesterday I was 20. So wait, does that make me a young fart at the moment?Careful. You turn 30 this year I think? At 16 years younger than myself, you'll be surprised how quickly the years pass and old fart sneaks up on you!
I had been waiting to put in an SP order for weeks so as to catch this release. Naturally, I finally put in the order about 6 hours before I got the email. 
I want to taste Rustica but I am not gung ho about the Macbaren offering. I will pass now, and if it is still available when it’s time for my next tobacco order, I might buy 1-2 tins.
I would rather buy the Tambalouka or the cylindrical rope that is exported from Peru.

Isn't that how it goes?I had been waiting to put in an SP order for weeks so as to catch this release. Naturally, I finally put in the order about 6 hours before I got the email.
I put in an order about 6 hours before the email too. I was frustrated at first and then saw that it’s a limited edition. I will pass on the basis that I don’t want to encourage this artificial scarcity.I had been waiting to put in an SP order for weeks so as to catch this release.

Rustica is what the Vietnamese smoke in their one-hit bamboo water pipes:
This kiwi guy in the video actually did it wrong, and didn't get a full hit.
I ordered one tin. I'm a history guy and they got me with the backstory of that strain of tobacco.
I like Vietnamese food and coffee! Why not the tobacco!
I picked up 1 tin and what I could of the new Warped and some Brown Club. Looking forward to it!
I'm confused. The EU tins dont have this 7100 limited edition information? Maybe its hidden under the massive warning label? I have yet to recived mine so cant say for sure.
The warning is printed on the same piece of paper as the main label. Ergo nothing is covered by the warning. Here's a pic of a German tin.
I was fortunate (or unfortunate) to have had the experience of smoking this while I was in Vietnam for a motorcycle trip back in 2016. Took two hits and immediately felt sick. Thought I was tough and should have left it at one which gave me a great buzz. Got up and walked around for a good 10 minutes before the nausea passed. Yes, it is strong but these lads inhale all of it, and smoke throughout the day. Their tolerance is through the roof. I
Pers responded back to me on FB. Basically he said this is the release now and down the road it will probably be regular production.
So....clear as mud. I cant imagine this not being regular production if it isn't already.
