Not sure what happened when I originally posted this. Anyway:
It makes a cameo appearance in my avatar!
It's (pretty much) universally loved and revered. If you like it, you're in good company.

Pylorns Tweeted something disturbing about our beloved Escudo earlier in the week. I asked for clarification, but no reply. Maybe he will see this and drop some knowledge.
This is all I'll say until more information becomes available, as I don't want to spread rumors or misinformation.

Thanks folks! I have two tins. Maybe I will stuff one tine away for a year but I don't think it will last that long. I also bought an ounce of McClelland 2020 Mature Flake and really enjoy it as well. I'm thinking I will have to buy some more as it is almost all gone now.
I will have to try the Stokkerbye as suggested.

Escudo, more then good, some have mentioned a lack of consistency, I have not seen it so far. PS LBEF is cavendish forward where Escudo has none.
I'm a little overwhelmed with all the tobacco choices.
I think I'm gravitating to the types you guys have mentioned. I don't quite know why.
I'm a coffeeholic and I like strong, French roast coffee etc..Maybe that has something to do with it.
I guess time will tell.
Sablebrush, I didn't realize what that is a nicotine buzz. I feel a bit woozy too after a bowl.
I'm just a new guy so all these things are quite new.

I smoke my Virginia with tea and my Latakia with coffee. Coffee is too strong with Escudo et. al. for me to enjoy it.
I am sipping a nice cup of tea as I type. Slurp, type, correct, dam! more slurping. I always drink my tea in a tea cup. My dad was from England and that is how he taught me to drink tea. "Son," he would say, "Only colonials and savages drink tea in a mug." So since I was old enough to drink tea it has always been in a cup but that's just the way I was taught to drink tea."
Dang! I just thought of something. I have never drank either. Hmmm, Maybe it's time to try something else.
Some of my friends are always talking about a finger of single malt.
How about a finger of Bushmills Irish 16 year old along with a bowl of tobacco?
I wonder how that would be.

Escudo. The gold standard. The holy grail. I enjoy many excellent VaPers but for me, none top Escudo. Several are close. But none better.
You guys are making me sad...
I have some kind of sensitivity to Perique. It burns me so bad while it tastes so good!
I smoked a bowl (yet again) tonight. I keep thinking that I'll be alright if I just go slow enough. Nope. I'm in pain. Stupid me.
It does taste good, though!

Escudo is my all time favorite; I've not smoked anything more other than Dark Flake. The flavor is quite complex thanks to the marriage made in heaven of the VA and the perique. I don't there are two tobaccos that compliment each other more than they. It's always a treat and I never tire of it. I have quite a bit cellared, and it ages well.
I don't care for Escudo but I always buy several tins every year because it makes great trade bait when I'm swapping for Lat forward blends.
Just mention that you have a few tins of Escudo with a year or two of age and grown men start to weep.
Pathetic.
