You can look at this the other way as well. The price on tobacco is not going to go down and the shortage is there. I have bought a few tins listed in this thread and have no intention of cracking them anytime soon. I don't smoke a ton and have a lot of stuff open already. When I do open those tins, if I like it then great. If not, I really don't think I'll have any trouble selling it. I bought some Murray's production Dunhill tins as well when I saw it for regular price. If I were to only buy what I have sampled, well I'd only have 10 or so tins and I think I would be cheating myself if that is how I developed a tobacco cellar. Plus, most of what I buy today is for smoking in the future - I buy for today as well but think long term too. Just my opinion on this.

That is exactly my plan. I will see if this is a tobacco for me, and if not, no big deal.

Thanks for the help and answers.

Re: Syrian Latakia - Gone Forever but Some Blends are Still Availalbe
I thought I had read that part of the problem was the amount of wood the Syrians were burning to make latakia....

Latakia is a process, much like Cavendish - so, a reasonable likeness should be able to be made with the available latakia in the future.
