You are welcome, sir. Just wanted to give forum members a heads up. There were some guys waiting for it.

It's a "small batch"; in this case 400 2-ounce tins. 50 pounds of finished product distributed amomg how many retailers? There is no surprise that it did not last, but the question to me is the motivation for this kind of concept at C&D to start with.

Hey Aristokles,
The essential motivation behind the entire Small Batch is to for Cornell & Diehl to be able to be more flexible and creative in their blending process without having to commit to production of a large run. In the case of Straight Up English, Jeremy had received some particularly good brights from Canada and wanted to showcase the interplay between those leaves and Latakia.
Hope this helps,

Thanks, Bear

I was not distressed in any way and certainly not concerned. And, yes, that does help.
