Well, I guess the cat is out of the bag. Looking at Tobacco Reviews, seemingly half of the reviews are from 2021. Word must have gotten out fairly recently.

Sir John’s is fantastic stuff. One of my favorites. Smoking Pipes got more in stock this morning and I bought some more to add to my collection of it.

Yeah; I missed out on both drops (SP and TP). With the TP drop, I went and saw 10 tins available, so I added them to cart hit checkout and got “insufficient stock”.? Went back to the Sir John’s Page, And it was showing 5 tins, so I added to my cart, hit checkout, got “insufficient stock “ went back to SIr John’s Page And it was now showing 0 tins.??
Fortunately a friend gave me the down low on a drop coming next week at a smaller retailer, so I should be good.??

For my sake, I hope that you're right, because I'm not hunting another unicorn (and I happen to like OGS quite a lot!).
I tested Orlik Gold flake and didn't care for it at all. Now I did smoke a 100 gram tin of 1997 in 2012 and it was tasty. I just had to much straight Virginia in my cellar so I wasn't looking for any more. I loved Capstan Blue flake compared to the Orlik so I didn't bother with it.

I did go heavy on Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, I love that stuff fresh or aged. I have a couple of 1998 100 gram tins and a couple of 2005 tins that are great. and then when it finally came back to this country I bought a test tin immediately and then after a few bowls i bought 100 tins, that was back in 2016, I can't believe it has been that long.. The were only the 50 gram ones. then again with no warning they only go to everywhere else and not to the U.S. I have no idea what is up with these guys. I didn't wait this time and I have the amount
II am comfortable with and it was only 7 bucks a tin which is stealing in my book.
