Ask yourself if you really, honestly believe that five years from now you'll be smoking these sticks. Use the evidence you've seen in droves here, everyone's tastes change.
These sticks will not remain htf for long. They're bringing too much coin and they need to get them out there to make money while the sun is shining. I'd look for the price to tank (were these not 7 bucks at release?). They're already becoming a lot easier to find. It's the standard progression of this profile of stick.
JJ maduros were around $240 a box a few years ago. Now they're $100. Same profile. Blends fall out of favor as new ones appear.
I've made the mistake of overstocking sticks that don't age well, don't get your nuts caught in that vice.  |
I just think I need to start smoking them then! I am glad that I came across your feedback on this. If I do continue to love the DE LP stuff in the future I will just buy some up since as you say it is likely they will become more available and maybe even less expensive. I wouldn't say I am sitting on a ton of it right now, but I do have a pretty nice collection of all the DE LP line up, all of which are at prime smoking. Time to fire up!
