What's all this! Supposed to have Black Cavendish, Burley, Orientals, Virginia in it? I tell you with all these small batches...
C&D Cornell & Diehl Eight State Burley

Seriously. C&D modern take on Scottish Blend?
I'm a bit intrigued. Maybe I'll get my test size order. 4 tins.
Yeah, I'm in. C&D is famous for their Burley, and I am usually a fan of their work with the leaf.
Interesting. Even though it has a lot of other ingredients like a Scottish, I'd still expect this to be a burley driven smoke... My question is how "rustic?" Will it be a bit rough and stout like OJK, Haunted Bookshop and Flake #1, or something a bit sweeter, smoother and more refined, like an Oak Alley?
Either way, it sounds great ?
What's the alternative to not having small batches? If one is bothered by small batches, the solution is painfully simple. Don't buy any. If you miss out on a few good ones, tough titty.
Seems to me, if you think there's a remote chance you may like it, buy ten to twenty tins. Being a small batch, if you don't like it, there will be enough people that like it, you can trade for something you like or get your money back by selling. So to me, the risk of not buying is greater. YMMV.

I don't think it will be too rustic. My guess is that it will be a burley-added variation on Bijou, one of their best blends and an apparent cornerstone that they tweak to create new blends (e.g. Sun Bear).

I smoked some more Mick McQuaid last night and it reminded me just how good a nice burley is.

10 purchased from SP along with 10 tins of Bijou.
….one tires of constantly being battered by these small batch releases.... I must draw the line on this release...
I got my 3. I don't wanna regret only getting 1 like I did for Beast (which is sooooo damn good), but I also didn't wanna splurge too much...
4 tins here. The one thing I don't like about these limited edition impulse purchases is that most of these blends have such minuscule differences than other tobaccos of similar make-up, that its not worth it, in my opinion. Fancy writeup sounds amazing though, as with all of them. I should just stick to my bulk favourites.
