I haven't heard any hype about this one. I just opened a Watch City ad and there it was. It's now available. I'm off to read the smokingpipes.com blurb, so I don’t know if it's limited.

I just got two tins. One to try one to cellar. Didn’t want to spend the money on more.

Decided to sit this one out and smoke some Capstan Blue.

I tried to buy a couple tins. Got it in my cart, SP cratered, and when I could get back in, they were sold out. C'est la vie.

*1992-2022. Whoopsie.
I read the writeup and it looks good, though I don't need another VaPer. I'm glad they can find use for special leaf. C & D already has a huge catalog, plus the boutique limited stuff, so I'd think that market was saturated. Evidently not, if this one sold out so quickly.

I have too many Va/Perique tobaccos but I bought 11 tins at the moment they became available since I like the stronger ones and this seems like it may fit the bill. Tobaccopipes sold out of 500 tins in 4 minutes so there must be interest, but I suspect that many were bought with the hope or intention of later resale.

Thought about it, but decided to pass. VaPers not high on my list and I have a number of Virginias already aging.

I did find a few tins on another site when my SP order fell through. They were already above MSRP. Not a ton, but above. |

It stinks that people are snatching these things up for resale. It's been discussed before and currently in a different thread. For some of these things, I've bought a tin to smoke and one to put up, but then I'm out of luck if I want more. I feel like I'm losing out because people hoard these things on speculation. I don't know what the answer is...be disappointed or be another jerk hoarding the stuff for profit. I guess it's nothing to get worked up about, but resellers gonna resell, I suppose.

This appears to be available at Country Squire for $13, if anyone missed out.

As long as people are willing to buy from resellers. |

Supply and demand, I guess. But people do the same with other products that become hard to find. For me, if I don't buy it when it first comes out retail, I'm certainly not going to buy it at scalper prices. Good luck to those who are ready to pay.
