I saw a 750 mL bottle of brandy for $14.49 this morning at one of my local liquor stores. For $40, plus tax, and shipping and handling...I'll just go buy 3 to 4 bottles of brandy and take a shot before each puff of my regular Plum Pudding. $40

I like the tin art, crazy price though even for 4oz. Going to have to pass.
Passed. I’m sitting on 2-3 lbs of regular plum pudding, a few tins of the special reserve, 3 of the bourbon barrel aged and another 5 of the special reserve flake.
I am however looking forward to Sutliff Cringle Flake. Have never bought any and this will be the first year I will.

In use to enjoy MR when you could get it in bulk. I also liked Deception Pass when it was released. Although, I guess I did not like it enough because I never bought more.
Weird to read these comments. It's a 4oz tin. All the SPC Plum Pudding 4oz tins run in the mid $30's. It was like two dollars more for this one--and it's an extremely small release with cognac. I sure purchased one--and now they're all sold out.
Mississippi River in bulk?? Thats one of my favorite blends. Wish it was still sold like that.
No way I'm paying $8.85/ounce for tobacco. Even McClelland and GH blends only ever got me to pay $5/ounce. The limited release makes it even less appealing.
IIRC, all of their blends up until around 2017 were available in bulk. Even their 8 ounce tins could be found on sale at P&C back then for around $20.
Maximum $5/ounce. As of this year, tins are no longer an option for me but considering what I've got put back already, it's an issue I can live with.

I'm kind of at that point. The tin hunt is getting old. Some bulks are my favorite smokes so just might stick to them.
Where I live (Tennessee) most tins are $16-20. And those are 2oz tins. So $8-10 per ounce is kind of the norm. Just seems bizarre to me with "limited" and "special" releases dropping from C&D regularly that a lot of people picked THIS tobacco to start declaring that $8-10 an ounce is expensive when it's sort of the norm in most B&M's.
I won't touch B&Ms. 10 years ago a 100g Mac Baren tin was $28 at local ones, I'd be afraid to look now. Being manufactured by Sutliff it wouldn't surprise me if SPC blends are being sold as bulk under a different name like the Hearth and Home ones are. The C&D small batch blends really don't strike much of a chord with me either.
I'm there. I mainly only smoke two tobaccos the majority of the time and both of them are bulk.
