Thanks, Emily. Placed a small order. 2 tin limit on the blends, so not much chance for cellaring, but maybe increased availability for more customers.

You don't like the tiny lump of flakes swimming around in anormal sized tin? And at almost $15 now.
I'm glad I stocked up on mine before the prices went crazy. I was letting others know it dropped*, because I'm so kind . Now I'll sit back and watch the peasants fight over the crumbs.
*it's probably already gone...

Maybe that's why you could get some. It irks me when something rare drops and there's like a 20 tin limit. Pipe smokers generally tend to be an unselfish lot, but some of us like to hoard, apparently. Glad you could score. |

I'm kind of glad they put in the 2 tin per day limit to stop the scalpers. They've been fairing much better getting 2-3 shipments of these per year but the 1792 still tends to go in a matter of a couple hours.
EDIT: Also, naughty me. I had to throw a couple tins on and place an order when I wasn't supposed to be ordering any tobacco for a good 6 months. Needed to hit the Pease sale and then forgot to even add an extra tin or two of Windjammer!

Picked up 2 each of Grousemoor, Black XX, and Navy Flake. Should be good to go in a couple of years...

I bought 2 tins each of Full Virginia Flake, St. James Flake and Golden Glow. No idea what I'm getting into with Golden Glow.

I like the small limit, too. More people can have some and they probably spend on something else while they are there. Win for everyone. A limit of 15 or 20 is silly and the stuff disappears to hoarders and speculators. |

Thank you Claude, my Balkan Flake is really low.
Sure is a bummer to see a two tin limit from 4noggins, but glad that it is available.
2 tins or 10, I will go with 10, I hate shipping costs.

I hear ya, except I don't get free shipping. So, the more I order, the higher the shipping cost.  I heard on another forum that the new tins are not vacuum sealed, they easily opened, according to a few individuals, but the lady from SG said otherwise, they had issues when they switched tin manufacturers but the issues were now resolved. |

Thanks for the tip, for square/ rectangular tins, it is off to the foodsaver vacuum sealer. I never have had a problem, but I appreciate that others have shared their experiences with compromised seals. As for free shipping, I could have ordered more to trigger it (if they offer it), but at this point it would be stupid for me to do so. But in the case of Balkan Flake, I would have don so. This is one of the first non-aromatics I tried, it always takes me back to a good place in time. |

I remember being struck at how good it was when I tried it in 2010 or 2011. |

If anyone wants to buy SG products in bulk with no limits you need to forget the big dealers. Go on line and go to the low tax states and find small mom and pops who will sell all they have in one shot.
I was buying bulk SG flakes in 5 pound lots and the tobacconists were more than happy to have no limits. The small guys want to turn their SG into cash flow, they don't sit on it.
