Esoterica Penzance?

It's not out of production, it's just that there is a limited supply of it and Stonehaven, the other esoterica blend people have risen to a holy grail like stats, and people will horde the stuff because no one really knows when it's going to be in stock again so it goes like this

Scarcity->Hype->Demand->Insanity->Hording->Stupidity|
^-----<---------<---------<---------<--------<------|

Unfortunately a couple retailers had some in stock this week, but it was gone within a hour.

Last year I managed to score a tin for MSRP!

So considering all the downsides to the hype/hoarding/scarcity issues is it worth trying to find a tin of this stuff or is it more of an if you see it and want to buy it, ok but don't go outta your way kinda thing?

If you like English baccy, it's a must try.

English(es?) are fast becoming some of my favorites as my palate has become more atuned to pipe smoking but as in MUST try is it really better than other more easily accessible baccy? BTW I just found a site that has 8oz tins for sale but I dont think I could splurge on an unknown (to me) baccy but for those of you looking its out there.
