I saw the ad but have no interest in adding any new blends to my cellar. I also have no C&D blends in my cellar. The last thing I want to worry about is moldy tobacco which seems to be an issue for C&D.

I'm quite interested in the XX Flake with the oriental leaf. I really like the oriental quality of Arango Supreme, but am looking for new blend with less latakia (have many of those already) and more oriental. What one other oriental forward blend would people recommend to get as part of a two tin order? Thanks!
Skip the Pegasus, it's terribly boring. (Or hell, I'll send you the tin I opened). Try Opening Nights instead. C&D isn't really known for it's VA, but they hit a home run with this one.
Two questions about these new blends:
1. What type of perique? Is it vintage St James or just the more conventional green river burley?
2. Does perique age in any desirable way? What does 18 year old mean flavor wise? What I've read in the past (jiminks and GL Pease) seems to suggest that once perique is out of the barrel, the flavor doesn't really change that much with additional age.

They're known for their burley blends... they're also known for their VAs needing at least a year or two age before they taste like anything other than blending or ryo flue cured...
12 of the dark. I hope the new HH blend(s) get delayed...I got orders all over my desk. 1st World problems..
C&D are becoming a highly respectable microbrewery of pipe tobacco...actually they are and have been. Oh nevermind, if you don't like it, more for those that do.
Once midnight hit, I bought 10 more of the VaOr.
I’m gonna make a special edition VaKyKyWe and call it Toto’s Pleasure. Then another cherry blend with PePeCaCaKyKy and call it No Place Like Home. Also an English crossover called Wicked Witch’s Itch.
How about a PerKyVaTurKy called Don't Think We're In Kansas Anymore 2020?
Another rebranding of red VA as Ruby Slippers.
all limited editions of course.

Is this still a problem? I know older tins & certain batches have had mold troubles but I would've hoped they'd have sorted it out by now.
That is the funniest one I have seen yet. I want that. Please take my money!
I think we've come up with a new product line.
then since kids love pipe tobacco how about "Playhouse".. a PeWe.
I'm on board with this one, too ... As long as it comes in a can with a sparkly label.
You're not at all rare. A few years back, mentions of C&D in fora, when they happened at all, were dismissive. I don't stock much of it myself as most of what I've sampled didn't make the grade. A few I found to be pretty good, and one is a favorite. IMHO, Virginias are not their strength, though they've improved a bit. And they now have less competition when it comes to Virginias, significantly less competition as McClelland is gone, Gawith, etc are in short supply, and HU isn't distributed domestically.I must be super rare.
They've upped their game in the past couple of years with their small batch offerings. They've enjoyed a good reputation for their Burley blends. And they've even finally managed to find lids that fit their tins.
I’m glad they are around and a US based company... I just haven’t found ones I’m taken with at this point yet.
