The buying frenzy at SP for C&D Carolina Reds had me wondering: what other limited editions are lined up for end of this year?

Tin tease...When McClelland releases a 48th Anniversary blend I'll get excited.

C&D's Halloween/Autumn Blend this year is Warped The Haunting and unfortunately not Warped Scarecrow which ought to be either a regular year round offering or, at a minimum, an annual blend. Peretti will have its annual "Thanksgiving Day" blend soon. It is well worth ordering and while not an everyday smoke it is enjoyable.The buying frenzy at SP for C&D Carolina Reds had me wondering: what other limited editions are lined up for end of this year?
^ This! Miss the special tins too!While I am an inveterate Virginia and Vaper smoker, I always enjoyed Peterson's annual aromatic Christmas blend and I certainly miss them.
Ummm, its released for a limited time. The text book definition of a "limited edition release".Im befuddled that people feel that a blend that has a release of 20-40,000 2 ounce tins to be a limited edition release.
Come on kids.. 2,500 to 5,000 pounds is not a limited edition release. The expected 2015 germaine tobacco release, that is a limited edition.
Good advice; that's the way !None that need to be shared with the hundreds of bots and guests constantly perusing this forum

Both good points. Its definitely limited by definition and in practice... but its also an interesting phenomenon happening more and more in our world where limited edition anything gets bought up in large or even majority quantities by scalpers.Ummm, its released for a limited time.

What some people forget, limited edition almost meaningless. I think that the Halloween oreo has a limited edition label. But production values might equal a normal quarterly production total for normal oreos.Both good points.

So its interesting to ponder how much certain "regular production" blends are vs limiteds in sheer quantity... as well as how much of the limited would actually sell if it were just another blend... maybe it would be the same or less per year than the fact that knowing you only have a few hours/days to make the cut.
Personally when im buying a limited edition I always ere on the side of overbuying it. If it ends up a sunbear or CRF I want that dang dozen cans.. it may need to get me through a few years. And if I'm not as fond of it... well, we see it here all the time.. even if somebody isnt "profiting" off of a limited edition in a monetary sense.. they're always good stock to trade in order to acquire tobaccos you may have otherwise been priced out of and spread the supply around to the people who wouldve normally bought a couple but missed out on buying half a dozen.

Who says the definition of limited edition is necessarily by quantity?
If it's not regularly available and is only made in a set amount when it is made, it's inherently limited by definition, especially considering that some that regularly come back (like Sun Bear) are very often different than when it last was available.
I can find no definition of limited anywhere that mentions quantity...

I swear, you people argue over the dumbest stuff, with the dumbest reasoning.
Yes, quantity can be a way in which something is limited, but it's not a necessary condition nor the only way for something to be limited.
