Ordered the Dr. Grabow 2018 Commemorative pipe via snail mail (that's how they roll). Naming wasn't too inspired this year, being called: The Panel. However, still made from their select briar stock. I googled this when you mentioned it, maybe in another thread. I didn't find anything. Do you have a link for it?

(3) 4oz tins Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding Special Reserve... I like the Reserve a bit more than the original, but both are outstanding.

Baboo, good for you on your purchase of the Special Reserve, for me there is no comparison to the regular Plum Pudding. I enjoy MM Great Dane almost as much as the regular Plum Pudding. All 4 MM blends have been out of stock at Smokingpipes for months....all 4 are R O blends and sell out fast.

Received recently this satisfying offering to my TAD. 5lbs of HH ODF from P&C, and 2 lbs HH Vintage Syrian from our esteemed Haebar. I suspect the TAD gods will not be appeased for long.

I just got my order from Smokingpipes.com. I got my next three BOM blends as well as 10 tins of Nightcap. I'm not that big of a fan, but my son loves it. Now I can give him a tin for Christmas for the next 10 years. (I wish I'd had the forethought to do the same with another of his favorites, Frog on the Bayou)

Very Happy with this one... a BB&S, which is a Barling second. Only thing is that I don't see any reason for it to be a second! Beautiful piece!

I just ordered eight ounces of Sutliff 515 RC-1. It’s a new red Virginia. I’m going to smoke a bowl and age the remainder. I’m curious to see what’s its like in a few years.

@lonecoyote I think they only notify you if you’re number is at the top of the list for each back ordered blend. They had a number of GermaIn and Esoteica blends this morning. I was on my notify list for several, but I only receive notices for the ones where I was one of the first ten or so subscribers. I found out about the Germains because I happened to be checking the recently added section . They had a Germain listed. I ordered it, but then called to cancel when I realized it was an aromatic. I thought it was an English blend. When I called, I asked if they had any other Germain/Esoterica in stock ... they had St Ives, Cardiff, and Brown Flake (Germain). I ordered a tin of Brown Flake.
The best notification system is Iwan Reis. You add yourself to the ‘notify when available’ list. When it’s your turn, they send you an email with specific instructions to order the blend. They hold it for you for four days.

Baboo...was it Exotic Orange that you originally noticed?? For me it’s two different types of blends.@lonecoyote It is now known as Exotic Passion due to EU/US regulations I think, but the tins are still embossed with the original name Exotic Orange. Same blend, different label/advert name. As I understand it, if they receive 100 in stock for example, and 200 clients are on the "Notify" list, they will notify about 120 of those on the list, the extra 20 just to cover non-responses. If you were #121 or higher you would not be notified. I was notified about current availability of Rattray's Exotic Passion, 100gr. www.tobaccoreviews.com/blend/10652/rattray-exotic-orange-aka-exotic-passion

I didn’t buy it then and still don’t! I’ve missed out way to many times. Won’t use the “ notify “ by email when in stock again. I hate being lied to!

Baboo....I’ve had the Exotic Passion, Exotic Orange has a different taste and aroma. Also take notice that Exotic Passion now has GOLD colored oranges.....not Orange like Exotic Orange. I guess the Original is gone forever!!

I guess the Original is gone forever!! @lonecoyote That's very disappointing to learn, and contrary to SP's representation and Tobacco Reviews web page. I haven't yet searched Rattray's or K&K's own website. The email alert I received featured a picture of the tin with orange oranges and Exotic Orange embossed name.

Very disappointed! I was not aware. Update post - Just checked the K&K website and translated to English... seems the ingredient tobaccos and flavorings, etc., are unchanged... so I just don't know what to make of it until I try it for myself, although I give great weight to your advisement @lonecoyote.

This beautiful pipe was waiting for me when I got home. It looks 100 times better in person. Time to go stare at it some more. I picked this up and obviously it needs some TLC. Will be a project for this weekend.

Give it a try, you might enjoy Exotic Passion.....everyone’s palate will pick up different notes. I’m just so use to Exotic Orange I guess, not the GOLD oranges. For me it was more then the name change and color of the stamping on the tin.

Greg, my number must be much higher than yours, I’ve been on their “ notify me by email “ list @sp for the past 4 plus years! I moved to NC back in March of 2014, that’s when I checked off to be notified by email. Maybe SP “ only “ receives 6 to 12 bulk bags annually......3 goes to their customer waiting list.....another 3 goes to staff members that smoke pipes, the rest is up for bid on eBay under an assumed name! That sounds just about right👍

Yeah, now Marlin Flake will now be known as Marlin Flock, the names have been “ changed to protect the innocent “!.....lol. A few hours ago I spoke with a longtime friend from Malta using a VoIP app. He’s had the opportunity to smoke both, his comment to me verbatim “ Exotic Passion is good but I can taste and smell the difference between the two blends “. I’m the person that got him hooked on pipe smoking back in ‘87, he only smokes Rattray’s and SG blends which are more readily available to him in Europe.
