Aleister Crowley: The Beast That Inspired The Beast
  • ► I think most of you need to loosen up! If you think this blend actually honors or contributes monetarily to Crowley in some way you're out of touch. Crowley simply made popular the idea of smoking rum soaked perique so C&D took that idea and built up on it. Just the idea of the tobacco, nothing more. If they didn't say the conclusion first many people would have come to it eventually. In this day and age if you can't separate someone's personal beliefs from their art (music, poetry, etc) or in this case his practices from the way he enjoyed his tobacco you're going to live a very miserable life. Good grief. Also, this will sell out in 2 hours like every other small batch drop does now that MacBaren has shuttered.
  • ► You may call me uneducated for this but I have very little knowledge of HP Lovecraft other than knowing that some had a fascination for his works. If someone introduced me to a tobacco blend named after him, his works, or his cat, and I enjoyed said blend it wouldn't matter what it was called or referenced. I still believe people are too caught up in nonsense to just enjoy something on face value.I opened up my tin of the last release of The Beast and found it interesting but the flavors are not something I would reach for often. I won't be purchasing the re release simply because it's not a flavor I enjoy, it has nothing to do with a fanciful backstory. If I DID enjoy the blend I would buy more and wouldn't care what it was called or referenced as that's not what my purchase was for. Do what you will with that remark but it feels like the majority of you are saying if you buy this tin of tobacco you may as well be saying "hail Satan" on the street corner and that is complete nonsense.
  • ► Product launch? Check when this actually debuted as this isn't the 1st (or 2nd) time it's been produced. This will still sell out as that's the nature of these limited/ FOMO blends no matter what they're called
