It came and went within minutes.
Most did not notice or even care.
But the ship passed in the night.
I tried, but missed the boat.

I have a large stash, but always will buy more if the opportunity presents itself.

I have a small stash and would definitely add a bag or couple more tins to it

I've had a few bowls on Penzance, it's nice but I'm not big on Latakia. Have not had anything else from them and at this point don't want to say I hate the brand but that I seem to abhor even bothering with them. Almost glad I don't know what I'm missing as I doubt it's worth the frustration or price. Good luck, I've given up on them so that's one less person to compete with, not sure it matters as the real obstacle is those with a lifetime supply that keep bulking up. Godspeed.

You should try Stonehaven.
I have one bag.
When it gets sliced open I will send you a sample.

I think the real obstacle is the internet hype cycle and it's apparent unavailability. I would bet that a large portion of purchases come from first-time buyers who just want to take a picture to share with their online compatriots. It's the allure of getting something so hard to get in a era where instant gratification is the standard. :lurk:

I would not be opposed and it would be appreciated. Thought I should try that one myself but after so many years I conceded and figured it would never happen.
