I ended up sitting out this round because I still have a couple of ounces from my last order. It's tasty stuff, though, and it sounds like Ernie has had extra help in making bigger batches. I'll be interested to hear how the newbies like it! 
I got my 6 oz. today and smoked my first bowl in a cob. I smoked too fast, I think, and it burned a bit. But the flavor was amazing!
Ohh man did they really forget to remove the Out Of Stock tag? Went to the website thinking it had sold out in 2 min or something ridiculous like that lol.
Have never tried any Watch City blends but there seems to be a ton of hype surrounding this blend that has only a handful of reviews on TR. It is good to see blends that cause a bit of chatter on the fourms though.
I received mine today and my first impressions are good.

Got my order and I'm surprised by the flavor of this one. It has a strong tea flavor to me--Earl Grey tea, actually. I get the pepper of the perique but, wow, the tea flavor is strong to me. Definitely an interesting smoke.
Arrived today!
I am awaiting delivery of new estate pipe then I will fire this up for my first bowl.

Glad to hear another positive thought on their blend. They are on the list of future purchases for sure.
Bump for the Monday drop.
...and no, this is not an April Fools joke! It actually does drop on 4/1. I swear. On my mother's grave. Actually, my mother is still alive, turning 70 this summer in fact. I should buymyself her some Roux as a gift...

Oh what the heck, why not. I've always had a bit of a contentious relationship with Perique, but I definitely enjoy well aged red Virginias and it is a rather legendary blend so why not. I also happen to be a total sucker for anything werewolf themed, so I just ordered a couple ounces!
It's a excellent Va/Per. I still have a few pounds of it.
I went to go get some Simply Red & Orange, both of which I've been itching to try, and just happened to catch this drop. Looking forward to trying this one as well. I have to say that I'm glad I was wrong about perique. I used to think I didn't like it, and now I can't get enough of it.
