SDPC had their once a year allotment of Esoterica and Germains inventory come in. There was approximately 25 eight oz bags of various esoterica, 40 ish eso tins and 20 ish germains tins. We had a round robin drawing. Every time your number came up we were allowed to pick one tin or 2 oz loose tobacco until the inventory was gone or until nobody wanted anymore tobacco. The prices were normal $25-$30.

I understand why people do it.
I know myself well enough to know if I really like that blend, I wouldn't smoke it because I couldn't replace it....And I like smoking what I buy.
I keep telling myself....There are hundreds if not thousands of blends out there I haven't tried yet that I know I get more with no problem.4 -

As far as chasing lore laden blends, I’m not willing to pay astronomical inflated prices. Like you, I’m willing to try everything else out there. If I do find something that strikes me extraordinarily, I’ll buy in quantity what I’m comfortable and willing to spend.
I’ve been fortunate enough to try several aged and no longer available blends from some very generous forum members here @Hawks @Rdp77 @Stubble @silvermouse as well as members from the San Diego Pipe Club. Some are good and some have been extraordinary. However, paying 10x to 20x the original cost is not worth it to me.
There’s plenty of untried blends out in the wide world of tobacco I’m more willing to investigate.

Paid $40-45 for a tin of Kringle Flake. My fomo got the better of me. Could've bought a pound of something for that price.

Definitely don’t feel bad. I too have “paid” for tobacco in the past. I blame @Rdp77 for introducing me to backwoods flake and deep hollow. Both of which I paid too much but damn it was great tasting tobacco and awesome experience.

Hey, I was just helping him scratch an itch. I didn’t mean for him to turn into a junkie.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

I just can’t imagine anything being better than second breakfast. That’s when I can keep my damn pipe lit.

Finally got the estate Falcon and chimney bowl, C&D Billy Budd and Kramer Cary Grant that I accidentally shipped to my buddies in NH.
To my surprise pipe and bowl are unused.6
