Ok I tried to research but had no luck. Is Curly Special the same blend as Curly Block, or is block discontinued and no longer available in any form?

Thanks

I check from time to time, I have not seen it in stock for over a year.

Maybe they get some but its gone in a day

Im told its good but no one I spoke to puts it in the realm of amazing. There are plenty of other vapers out there so I stopped trying.

Not the same blend and Wessex makes the block now. It is hard to get because its very good. Pretty pricey though.

The original Heinrichs Curly Block was a very fine Va/Per. Then manufacture was turned over to STG around 2016 or 17 and they changed the composition of the blend, adding a dark Cavendish (IIRC) core to it. Still a good blend, but not like the original, which reminded jiminks of the Murray's Dunhill Navy Rolls.

BTW, Dunhill never made Navy Rolls. That was a Murray's addition.

I still have some of the original. You need a diamond tipped cutter to slice it, because it's so damned dense.
