Any insights into why they are releasing this as 1lb bulk and not tins? Tin shortage?

How limited is a limited release on this particular tobacco? At 16 ounces a purchase, how many of these will be on the market?

Committing to 1 lb of an unknown is dicey, so thanks Jim.

But.....

My latest order from smokingpipes is being held at customs - pretty sure a 1lb block would drive them insane. Even though I love Orientals and Jeremy has done some interesting things with them lately, I'm a bit on the fence due to the potential for $280 duty (Up to $17.50 per ounce when they get nasty).

This does SOUND tasty, but I am on the fence as well. Equally because of the potential tax slap and because I am not sure how much my unrefined palate will pick up on all the described flavours…
Shall I take the chance?

I know everyone isn't a fan of C&D, but I think Jeremy has done a remarkable job with new blends, and sustaining their established blends, as reflected by this jiminks review on this new blend... I definitely want to try this blend up the road. I hope it catches on. Being mostly a one-bowl-a-day guy, an all-day smoke isn't required, and this sounds delicious.
