What did I miss out on? I sent an email asking if I can get in on the pre-order for 4 different blends (4 oz).

There have been many pipe tobacco panics in the last two years; some of us Escudo, Samuel Gawith and Dunhill guys panicked more than the others. If you are not already intimate with these lines than you haven't missed a thing, you lucky bastich.

I haven't smoked a pipe in some time and thought I'd pick up a few blends for the colder months. I'm on the list for 4 oz of 3 blends the next time they come in. Now, I just need to get a new pipe...

Most retailers received a relatively large shipment of Samuel Gawith Bulk tobaccos. Most were sold out within hours. A lot of people were buying 5+ pounds at a clip.
