water is wet the sky is up there. Not sure why you're bringing it up.
I understand, but then it just got me to thinking... 'what if they're making money?' The rest was downhill.
sorry just trying to tease you. Your doctor pays me to do it. Have to let some pressure off of the ego, his words not mine. I just need the money.water is wet the sky is up there. Not sure why you're bringing it up.
I have quite a few special editions that i've collected over the years. From plug versions of Old Dark Fired to Carolina Red Flake and the Eric Stokkebye aged Virginia. I'm always excited whenever I try one of these?.
Yes, yes, yes. I get it. My point is that in general C&D is simply engaging in microeconomics. Of course their are real reasons to put out a unique and odd product.… but not every month or so unless their is a bit of marketing Magic at work. Marketing.… without it there is no such thing as America.
Or only smoke a few bowls a year, for only really special occasions and stretch it out.
Then the little you buy can certainly last many years, just think, you buy 4 oz. as an example, you could have that tabac for 5-10 years... LOL ?
There are certainly those that stretch it out and save it for special times.
Or you simply buy and cellar it, put it away to also age for a few years, then sip it slowly for a few more years, etc...

Correct me if wrong I'm wrong, but isn't rum soaked Perique what Aleister Crowley smoked?
And isn't Haddo's Delight supposed to be a "take" on Crowley's favorite blend (including the name Haddo being a nickname or character created by Crowley)?
Of course it's marketing with larger companies. There's a definite allure to purchasing something that is finite, limited "special". If you can weave a good story around it, even better.
The tobacco business gets a lot of mileage out of tinning the same blend under different labels, or tinning a standard blend, maybe adding a slight tweak to it, and calling it something new and only in limited supply.
This is an industry that trades on mystery and romance, with descriptive copy about the contents suggesting anything from an pile of burning leaves in an autumnal paradise to arcane ancient Egyptian rites performed in the sanctum sanctorum at the vernal equinox.
Flavorings are almost never specified and not all components are listed, just the major ones. It's all mysticism and magic, alchemy for you pleasure.
If it was the food industry it would be in deep, deep pooh.
It's a great way to not have to deal with the (eventual) deeming regs. Make 3000 tins, it sells out in hours and then move on to the next limited release. It' so nice and tidy.
Yep
Haddo's is a remake of the Friedman & Pease blend "Aleister". Oliver Haddo was a caricature of Crowley in the William Somerset Maugham novel "The Magician".
Buy limited edition blends or don't. I don't care. I buy some that interest me and pass on plenty of others that don't. Everybody has their thing, including the manufacturers.
You make your own rum soaked Perique? If so, is it a similar process to what a previous member (deathmetal or something) used (and published an article on)?
The only thing I smoke by the pound is Haunted Bookshop. I’m ? enough to absolutely 
a blend that is not universally worshipped. However, I’ve noticed lately a bit of an uptick in Forum Member enjoyment of my beloved. And, for all yous that shit on this blend and give ass ? reviews…keep ‘em coming. ?
Haunted Bookshop is my ?…and I ?. ? As for the rest, they are more dessert ?. I don’t order it often, but when I do I really enjoy it.

I like Haunted Bookshop quite a bit, but I only smoke a little bit of it because the nicotine content can give me the "spins".
I just mist granulated perique with Appleton Estate.
Ever notice that my two rarely if ever get mentioned??The only thing I smoke by the pound is Haunted Bookshop. I’m ? enough to absolutely

That’s cause you’re definitely smarter than me…I’m a big mouth. ?
Although, you’ve been generous with giving your favorite, and for folks that’ve been here long enough…they know what you enjoy. Smart to stay quiet. However, I no longer think you need to worry about Mr. 500 Ibs. ?
