These tobacco names can certainly catch one off guard.  |

No,
I won’t be buying any, at least for now.
If I see a tin at a store I might.

Like Calvin and Luther are waiting? Weren't both of them anti-tobacco? They both pre-date tobacco. In the modern church, while many were teetotalers, “no wine shall touch my lips, no smoke either”, many in the reformed movement had no such prohibition. “All in moderation”. |

I recall paying $20 for a 50g tin at a couple of B&Ms I walked into. They must have had an expensive lease. |

I'm not a burley fan so I am going to pass on this one. With the Deeming laws looming I don't see it hanging around. Get it while you can.

The costs associated with running a brick and mortar being what it is, I cannot begrudge a retailer charging $20 for a tin.
They are at a huge disadvantage over their online counterparts.

Also, they're dirty for doing this if it's just 307 Mocha Slices rebranded in a tin as it truly appears to be. Shame on Sutliff. It's sold in bulk at tobaccopipes.com

Let’s hope that is not the case, it would be as welcome as a loud fart during communion.

ICK! It's a Burley/VA mixture. Hard pass for me. With a name so cool, I hoped it might be at least a little Lat-forward. J. Gresham Machen is certainly rolling in his grave.

All Virginia blends need a lot of Burley for body and flavor. It's OK if you skip the Virginia all together. 😜
