Dont worry guys I predicted this would happen and thought ahead. I'll put mine on sale for $20/oz when I get my 20 pounds I ordered thru various friends and relatives. ?

It's pretty darned good, but there are other VaPer I like much better.
Not sure whether I hope this was an intentionally small release to generate hype or if it's a lack of blending ingredients. Both don't bode well. I suppose it could be more hungry mouths buying quality tobacco, which is a good thing for the industry, if deleterious for my personal stash.
I'm waiting for them to carry good ole Simply Red again.

That's their Belle of the ball, IMHO. I kind of wish they'd release some everytime they release a blend that contains it as an ingredient. Oh well. Wish in one hand.... and buy more Samuel Gawith.
Are there any fans of Rhythm & Blues? That one does not get much mention.
Damn. I was hoping to get my hands on 2oz. Forgot it was today, just happened to take a break from the shed long enough to check email and saw the email from WCC like an hour earlier. Hurried over to the site and it was already gone.
That’s alright, probably only a handful of bowls between now and 4/1, and plenty of others to try between now and then!

Actually, word is that this was the single largest batch of tobacco that they have made to date. So, it would seem that there are either more people buying now or people are better informed. The last release in April was apparently available for nearly 3 days and this much larger batch of it sold out in less than an hour.
@BarrelProof ... PM me and I will send you a sample, if interested.
WCC sent out a Fall release schedule earlier in October.
Gone in an hour? Sheesh!
I happened to see it and ordered a pound. Guess I got lucky.
jiminks had sent me a sample when it first came out and I intended to buy some but it wasn’t available.

I see you know how to get the answers you need as well? The phone is a wonderful invention. ?
I got a pound as well. This will be my first time trying it so we’ll see how it goes. Even if it’s not to my liking, people like to trade for this blend and love it when they can get a free sample, so cellaring some is a win-win to me.
Let me fact check myself. Rouxgeroux's date was posted on the site but nothing is said about Simply Red or Rhythm and Blues. That information came from the fall release schedule that was emailed out that @chasingembers referred to.
Nope, Ernie emailed me six upcoming blends and their release dates.
Watch City blends like Rouxgaroux or Simply Red, and Watch City in general, got massively increased visibility on the popular pipe message boards over the last year. While folks can downplay the impact of da' boards, most pipe tobacco is made in relatively small production lots and it's priced at a level where a pretty big share of buyers can afford multiple pounds a purchase. So raising profile with just a couple hundred buyers who were unaware can eat up a supply of most tobaccos. KBV, Peretti 'special' releases......what gets a lot of airtime gets harder to grab. This is especially true of anything that has an actual or perceived scarcity......the more there is an air of 'limited' the harder it's hit. LJP's 150th was a mad rush on initial release, but talking to the shop when they made it a regular runner demand dropped way down.
