...Capstan blue is easily found here in southern Spain...…….never seen the yellow though...
in the tobacconists you have it for 7 euros. In my neighborhood tobacconist it is very easy to buy everything you need. But it also depends on the desire of the seller to work. I also live in the south east of Andalucia...........

I have around 150 tins of Blue Flake and I have 25 tins or so of Yellow Ready Rubbed. I bought the ready rubbed because SP found a stash of 2013 tins. I used a couple of my big pipes with the RR and it was a nice morning first of the day smoke.

I had times with the Yellow that I found unbelievably good, mild, sweet and fragrant, just a wonderful smoke, and times where it was more acrid and kind of boring. The blue always presents the same to me, a little fuller than the yellow, less fruity. I'd have a tough time picking between. In truth I probably prefer the Mac Baren Virginia Flake to both.
