Concidering the size of the operation at Watch City, I think Ernie and his staff do an incredible job of getting their product to the masses. They are also forthcoming with new releases and restock of staple blends. I feel like Ernie takes pride in his craft and is customer driven. I don't get that vibe from say ESO or SG. And with no middle men we don't get the wild fluctuations in price with those other hard to find blends. The blends we missed from WCC will be back around, until then they have blends in stock for every pallet. In the meantime try those blends out, you won't be disappointed. I'll pay four bucks an ounce for an English blend from Ernie before I drop 250 bucks for a bag of Penzance any day.
