After 6 days of labor tinning Latakia blends, BROBS is offered a reward. A Virginia blend to smoke at his leisure. He takes the tin and discovers it is a Virginia made by C&D.
Agree...."Limited"..."from the Crop of 2000"...And in the cigar world...."Rolled on the thighs of Cuban Virgins".
C&D has another new Small Batch out next week as well.
As far as blending chops go, Russ is right there with anyone. However, he works for the people who own the tobacco, so he has to help move it out of the storage bins.
I still have some 'limited edition' Tasty Kake that didn't taste to me as good as the original It was promoted as having been a pressed and misplaced experimental tweak of the original, if I recall. They found a pallet of it in a corner somewhere, so the story goes.

Which 'un is that? CRF with Perique? Because that would be awesome
Eight State Burley or something like that.
It sounded interesting enough that I might order a tin or 3 just for fun but not something I would cellar.
For their latest Small Batch project, Cornell & Diehl salutes its history and legacy with an homage to traditional Burley blends of bygone eras. Honoring historic US Burley growing regions, Small Batch: Eight State Burley begins with a blend of specially selected, matured air-cured leaf from 2015, enhanced by aged Bright and Red Virginias. A mixture of 2005 Sokhoum, Katerini, and Samsun Orientals further elevates the blend, adding a peppery spice to augment the Burley’s inherent nutty character and the sweet tang of the ripe Virginias. Once blended, the mixture is pressed, sliced, and tumbled into an old-fashioned “chop block” or ready-rubbed cut. The official retail launch date for Eight State Burley is Tuesday, May 25th.
Thank you for sharing! I did not find this online or in my email, so definitely good to know what's coming down the pike.
So, cut to the chase...has anyone tried this yet and is it any different from the 'regular' BH? How are the aged orientals likely to change the flavor profile? Inquiring minds want to know!

A generous forum member gifted me a tin, so I will get to review it after all.
