Wanting to buy/trade for Cringle Flake 24 (12/25/24)

[Sidehatch]

Soooooo . . .. . I totally missed the boat on this years drop. No clue why this one sold out everywhere so fast. I’m guessing since it’s a straight Virginia it sold better than 23. 23 I feel was available into Feb. No where online has inventory that I can find. Local BM got a measly 5 tins that evaporated into thin air and the best BM in Denver got 60 . . . .60!!!!! tins they sold out on as well. Ugggg.

Anyway, I’ve got tins from 20-23 and wanting to keep the series collection going. I’m looking for a few tins, 4 would be perfect, but just one would work also. I have esoterica, CRF in several years and sunbear in several years that I can trade. I am also willing to buy with shipping covered on my end. Much obliged in advance.

I have 4 tins I would sell to you. Unfortunately, I bought them in Florida and paid $35 each. If also trade for sir John's Flake Virginia, F&T CVP or MB Virginia Flake.

I can give you a few reasons:

1. Sutliff is going tits up in a few months.
2. It's the last edition of this lovely blend.
3. It supposedly contains the last of Sutliff's stash of McClelland processed tobaccos.
4. It's a Red Virginia, not a Va/Per, the first one since 2020
5. The piping community is no more immune to self centered thinking than any other, so the piranha swooped in like they do with every Esoterica drop. The stuff is already showing up on Tinbids.

Send me your address. I'll send you a tin.

Do I detect a little bitterness, Jesse?

If helping out a brother pipe smoker is bitterness, then, yes!
