I would like to bring to the attention of the floor and Speaker a proposition to ban the creation of any new Esoterica threads, particularly Stonehaven and Penzance related, for 6 months. I bring this to you as this horse has been well beaten and there are many related threads to read already.
I ask for a second.....
(I of course have a rather jesting, light-hearted tone with this, but I do think we've covered it. I know a forum member that has stopped logging in because "it's always the same stuff about Stonehaven and Penzance"- and he cellars that stuff by the pound!)

I'm totally newbe here so I read as many posts as I can; and yes, I totally agree. These tobaccos are like the Holy Grail for smokers (especially like me and other Europeans )

But.. but... but where will we go to brag once we've finally bagged a bag? If I land a bag of Stonehaven, and no one is around to congratulate me, does the tobacco really exist?

No.
Send it to me.
I will then PM you to advise...

"It tastes like RDF"

"It is overrated"

"It is underrated"

"It is good but I don't get what the fuss is about"

"It isn't good. What's the fuss about?"

"I would pay a premium for this stuff..."

"I wouldn't pay a premium for this stuff..."
@pruss. Thats awesome.
Tarak, I only went back to threads generated in the last six months... I'm also pretty sure that I missed some.

Oh Daimyo... when did we ever let the spirit of the rules be governed by the rigorous application of them?

Truly, this thread was meant with good humored intent, but I take your point. Mods, if you feel I have violated guidelines, please close this thread as you deem appropriate.

Of course, it was tongue in cheek. Not being able to talk about Stonehaven on a tobacco site would be similar to prohibiting discussion of Johny Walker Blue or Highland Park 40 year old on a Scotch forum.

Both Penzance and Stonehaven are IN STOCK at......oh, never mind...
That's a joke folks...please don't send me any PM's!

I didn't mean that to be too authoritarian, just a reminder. I certainly don't think this thread is a violation. Sadly though, you either ban repetitive questions, make a sticky and hope for the best or you get repeat threads. Think of it as a chance to use great gifs.

Guys, let's be a little cagey here. Not selfish, just sensible. If you love a particular blend so much, don't pump it up until all the online retailers post their "Out of Stock" signs. Enjoy the exalted blend, puff it gently, as you dream up other pipe and tobacco subjects to post, of which there are thousands. Otherwise, it sells out and then you're back on Forums bellowing because you can't get your favorite. A tad of common sense here.

What a bloody good idea, as a Welsh forum member its all totally unavailable. Maybe a sticky is the way to go for a few oft discussed blends.

I'd then say we should also limit the threads complaining about such threads. There be been quite a few of these.
Also might we ban banning and/or limiting as well as the threads which propose said banning/limiting?
Also the threads which propose to limit and/or ban threads attempting to ban and/or limiting the limiting and/or banning of limiting said limitations?
