Has this become another one of those blends that are rarely seen? I have not been able to find it locally or in the e-shops that ship to Canada.

I don't know, the American sites seem to have it (P&C and SP), so it doesn't seem to be an issue with supply in general. I really don't know why a vendor of any serious size wouldn't carry it, or why some run out of it when others obviously have no problem getting there hands on it. Maybe someone else does.
I had my first bowl of Squadron Leader last night. I'm going to say it was a very nice mild smoke, I could sit in a closed up room and just bathe in the aroma. Unfortunately for me, it was a nice mild smoke, I tend to like a fuller pipeweed. I'm going to reserve total judgement for after I smoke the rest of what I have.
You'll be surprised that even famous tobaccos are hard to find online in the UK (my brother lives there). HMRC charges 100.96 pounds as customs duty per kilogram of tobacco.
Just some "buyer beware" type advise for SL. I've found that the bulk version seems a little off from the tinned version and I'm not quite sure what it is. I have some jarred, (bulk) and have been dipping into it every week for a bowl or two and it's growing on me but it's still not what I recall having smoked in tin form.
