I recently aquried a tin of Peter Heinrich Dark Strong from a friend for 40 bucks, and thought I'd like some more. I can't find it anywhere in the U.S., so I took to Tinbids just for kicks. While there I came across this C&D blend and loved the tin art made a bid, now I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the blend.

By the way the price I found for the original search tells me I need to make what I have last.

Those early C&D tins aren't air tight and with 20-30 years on that one, it'll likely be a tin full of dust.

At least, the label art does offer truth in advertising.

My understanding and someone correct me if I heard wrong is they reissued it as canal boat.
Good call! This is from one of the oldest TR reviews of Canal Boat:

Recently, I had the good fortune of obtaining a generous sample of one of Cornell and Diehl's new blends (available in late June 2001). This blend was humorously introduced at the Chicago show as "The Constipated Cockroach", complete with appropriately scatological graphic, in a limited run of 200 tins. Since the tobacco was rec'd with so much favorable response, the Tarlers decided to release it in the Summer catalogue. Hereafter, it will be known as "Canal Boat".
