Visiting relatives in Dallas, stopped off at a local B&M and just sitting there on the shelf, what do I find?
Normal retail price. Couldn't pass it up. Now...do I jar it up when I get home or resell on the secondary market for 4 times the price? hmmmmmm

Your lucky day. I hoped you grabbed a lottery ticket or two while Karma shone on you.

I'd jar it up and smoke it if that's your thing, rather than publicly discussing illegally flipping tobacco. The ATF has kicked in many a door and shot many a dog for less.

I would jar it, if I didn’t like it revisit a year later, then off to share at the pipe club.

I suppose I should have added a "/s" at the end. I am definitely jarring it up and smoking it in a year. I don't buy tobacco unless its intended to be smoked. Only time I get rid of something is if I don't like it. |

I think that B&M’s are less likely to raise the prices like someone with an online presence has with a global audience. I think that Dino has done a pretty good job at relating that to us.
If I was an online seller, I have to admit that it would be tempting to charge more seeing that someone else bought it from you for half the price they flipped it for.
If people were a bit more patient, there would be more ability to get these blends at reasonable prices. I refuse to chase the unicorn.

Nice find! I haven’t seen any at my local B&M for a few years. Last two bags I bought were about $38 each. Making them last. It is one of my top ten favorites.

Hopefully you enjoy it, as I know you like Esotericas.

Honestly, I like Margate and that's usually all I go for. I couldn't pass this up though. |

Penzance is my favorite tobacco. I smoke it rarely, not sure when I will be fortunate enough to hit the tobacconist at the right time. They get a few bags once in a blue moon and they sell immediately. I was able to snag a tin of Margate a couple of days ago.
