I have dealt with Premal for many years, he is one of the most stand up guys in the tobacco business. You will get what you ordered, he is a one man show, so it may take a bit more time, just chill out and smoke a bowl. Also, his tobacco comes from Germains and he has no control of when they will fill an order, Germains uses their own version of time!

I've known Premal and dealt with Smoker's Haven for many years. Not one single time have I had an issue with an order. Frankly, since he's also an exceptional pipe maker (time consuming), and oversights the very value worthy Buckeye brand of pipes (time consuming), and is on Germain's time schedule for getting the SH blends sent to him, I can only offer kudos along with a big thank you for the marvelous Germain made SH blends that have been appreciated by pipe smokers around the world for decades.
PS... I don't think Premal sleeps!

I’m glad to see these blends are coming back in stock from time to time. I totally understand the price hike but I’m also very glad I stocked up before they increased! I remember thinking, $12.50 for a two ounce tin??? Lol.

Well, it appears that In-B-Tween mixture is the only other one in stock. Since I have 4 tins of Exotique on the way, is there enough difference between the two to justify purchasing In-B-Tween at $22 a tin? Really don't want to miss out if this stuff only comes around every several months or even years as I've heard.
I did pay $20 for a tin of Esoterica Margate a few weeks ago on Tobbacopipes.com and felt as it was worth it.
If this stuff is anywhere near as good than I'm OK with the price. Thanks.

I noticed no sticker on the bottom with the tin date this shipment. Just curious if anyone else has the stickers?

I kind of liked that little touch.

In-B-Tween Mix is very different than Exotique and I personally think they are both worth having in my cellar, it has less Lat. If you get a chance to try Select Mix, I’d go for that one as well, that is a dear special blend right there.
3rdGuy I’ve never seen a sticker or a date on the bottom of any of my SH blends.

My guess is they were most likely very recently blended. Maybe a few weeks or a couple of months at the most?
These are blended by Germain right? Thinking anything blended by them is sold rather quickly.

OK thanks. My last shipment in April has them.
I haven't bought anything from them since 2016 so maybe that's something new they started doing. I really wish more companies would date their tins.

Yes they are Germain, he tins them in his shop.
I agree, wish every blender put the dates on the tin!
