Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called "life"
And to bid adu to this wonder tin called "Margate"
A tin filled with joy, hope, dreams and deliciousness
As well as wonderful marriage Orientals and Latakia
A tin that thought nothing of itself
But instead offered itself ready to death at the flame
For the enjoyment of others to enjoy it's smoky richness

RIP

Other than the secondary market and scalpers, who's selling it for more?

Haha, everybody dude. Most places that ever have it online it’s pushing $20. Unless it’s SP, where it disappears like a live chicken thrown into a Hyena pit. Saw it at payless once for $14, but everywhere else $19.95 MF.

Last I saw at Iwan Ries it was $14.99. Anything above that and it just isn't worth it. I've got two pounds of that one put up and never paid more than $35/bag.

Iwan Ries is the only one I never buy from. Won’t ship usps to AK so the shipping cost is always $30+.

Any Eso blends I cellar deep on I wait for bags. Never paid more than $45 for one of those, except early on when I didn’t know any better and got scalped $75 for a bag of dunbar. Live and learn.

But anyway, I agree, it can be found for $15, thats why I used that figure, but MOST places you find it online it’s nearly $20 a tin.

Margate is such an elegant blend. For many years it was nearly my daily smoke. It was one of the first blends that really impressed me in my first year of pipe smoking and turned my attention to UK tobacco houses.

Thanks for the post. I look forward to trying it someday. I have a couple of tins, but haven't tried it yet.
