Anyone out there DG regulars? Don't hear much in here about them anymore. Any batch recommendations or reviews?

Shut Down his website, like... 3 years ago? I don't hear ANY reports about DG, even on Reddit or MeWe, even from past DG Customers.

I mean yes he was trying to "Hold On" to buyers by Email. But - his Regular leaf was way over-priced, too much competition. :P His "Premiums" were super high price, and weirdly strong ... Theory, that his Premium's were spiked at the source? He paid the Indo's for that, No questions asked... and sold it for $400 a Kilo and catered to dopers who want stuff that's not all natural kratom?

Again just a theory... His website IS archived on the Wayback Machine. He announced a re-stock in Jan 2019... by August the website was gone. :ugeek:

Agree with balls about being overpriced.

Used to really like the guy until he decided to hose all of his loyal customers.

I honestly believe he has a large old school customer base that doesn’t know about Double M and since reddit closed, they don’t know where to buy quality leaf.

His regular leaf is $180.00 per kilo and his classic Md is $512.00......yes you read that right.

Again, used to think he was a great guy and capitalism is capitalism but when you take advantage of old customers that don’t know where else to go, you lose all my respect.

Yes again the Wayback Machine, aka Internet Archive LINK shows his old website... Click on 46 Captures near top & see the whole history.

His most active year was 2016. There was a web forum similar to MM, called KC Forums... Kratom Connoisseurs. However it became a Private "Members Only" forum. A couple of vendors used that, to make money & this was before the huge price drop in 2017 - when many vendors (BB, SoCal, RVA, Canopy, etc.) lowered prices down, to about where they are today: $25 -30 quarters and full Kilo $80 to 100.

I've used DG since 2014, some of the best kratom I've ever gotten was from 2015 - 16. The Red Thai 95 and PMD 5.5 were exceptional. Over that time I never got leaf that I thought was spiked with extract, just consistent leaf with more standouts. The same holds true with TFH, we've all had that one batch that we wish we could endlessly order.
